Introduction
Amethyst's chemical composition is silicon dioxide (SiO₂), and it gets its purple color from iron elements and natural radiation. It belongs to the quartz family and is also known as the "stone of spirituality" or "purple crystal."

In ancient Greece, it was considered a stone that could prevent drunkenness, with the word "Amethyst" originating from the Greek word amethystos, meaning "not drunk." In medieval Europe, it was often used by the church and royalty, symbolizing clarity, temperance, and spiritual power.
