Amethyst is, perhaps, the best loved of all the quartz varieties. Its warm purple glow is a favorite in home decorating and it’s widely used as a Feng Shui element. Place in your wealth corner and see what happens! Amethyst's purple color is due to small amounts (about 40 parts per million) of iron impurities in the crystal structure of quartz. It is the traditional and modern birthstone for those born in the month of February.
