Description from the seller
This Sphere is again different from other Amethyst spheres.
It is a light lavender form.
So this is not pink Amethyst or chevron Amethyst or pure Amethyst, but something else.
Not often seen
Amethyst is a violet variety of the mineral quartz and is the best-known stone in the quartz group.
Brazil has important deposits of amethyst, which are mainly mined from the state of Rio Grande do Sul (with the town Ametista do Sul as the main producer) and, secondarily, in Bahia. Brazil is the largest stone producer in the world
The name comes from Ancient Greek ἀμέθυστος (amethustos). Amethyst was already known to the Egyptians, Etruscans and Romans, and Pliny the Elder had already described amethyst.
In ancient China, small gemstones were cut from amethyst. In the Middle Ages, amethyst was highly valued in Europe as well. It was called bishop’s stone, because it used to be a favorite gemstone for church dignitaries, and it was believed to possess magical powers.[source?]
It was the symbol of lovers, the stone of moderation, protector against witchcraft and sorcery. In Jacob van Maerlant the explanation can be found that the stone dispels drunkenness. It has been assumed that the Greek name means “against drunkenness”: wine drunk from a cup made of amethyst would not make one drunk.
It will be sent maximum insured
