Its hardness ensures good everyday wear ability. When faceted, like in most designs, amethyst creates a beautiful brilliant violet shine. The crystalline quartz mineral ranges from a pale lilac shade to a deep reddish purple often referred to as Siberian and considered the finest quality. As amethyst is considered the most valuable gemstone in the quartz family, amethyst jewelry is often made using faceted stones and precious metals. The value of this jewelry is heavily based on color and deep purple hues with red and blue flashes (Siberian) are considered the finest quality.
