Over colossal spans of time, the cooling and crystallization of minerals resulted in the formation of the amethyst's stunning purple hue. The transformative powers of heat and pressure played a pivotal role in imbuing it with the characteristics that gemstone connoisseurs admire today. Our jewel, sourced responsibly from the heart of Africa, reflects a spectacular chapter in the Earth's history.
