A crystal is a mineral that has formed into a geometric pattern. A quartz crystal displaying violet color tones is considered amethyst. The amethyst crystal forms a six-sided hexagonal prism ending usually into a very defined point.

During the middle ages, the amethyst's beauty and rarity made it more valuable than diamonds, often worn in rings of kings and queens. Amethyst was traditionally believed to protect the bearer from intoxication and excess physical passion. In ancient Rome, a gift of amethyst from wives to their husbands would guarantee his love and fidelity.
