Amethyst is the violet variety of crystal quartz. This beautiful gemstone got its name from the Greek "amethystos" (not drunk), as it was generally thought to prevent drunkenness.
Amethyst is found all over the world, and the often impressively large amethyst druses from Brazil are well-known. Most of the amethysts used to make jewelry also come from Brazil. The violet color is caused by the inclusion of iron.
