Violet jewels from the quartz family! 🤍
Quartz is a large family featuring all colors (except blue)💜❤️🧡💛🤎💚
🔨Their durability is good and makes them easy to work with and rather resistant to everyday wear and tear.
✨✨✨Two centuries ago amethyst belonged to the gemstone group, its deep purple reminiscent of bishops' robes it was extremely popular. 💜 💜 💜Today the gemstone group represents only diamonds, emeralds, sapphires and rubies.
