Amethyst: the stone of beauty, the stone of adventurers
The violet variety of limpid or semi-limpid quartz, with different grades of deepness and a striking number of tints (from light-lilac to dark-violet, almost black) is called amethyst. The name, given to the stone in ancient times, is closely connected with the belief, that this gem can protect people against drunkenness and prevent the development of alcoholism. The name is translated from Greek as “not drunk”, “free from drinking”, “alcohol-free”. In ancient Greece the cupbearers poured wine out of amethyst ladles, for the guests not to get drunk.
The synonyms of amethysts are purple agate, amethistius, amefist, the stone of Bacchus, bishop stone, lavendin. In the Middle ages the gem was highly valued both in the East and in Europe, where it was considered to be the best decoration for church articles and priests clothes. After consecration into a cardinal, the initiate got an amethyst ring. In ancient Greece gems, signets and small decorations were made from amethyst. In China the light-coloured varieties were used for making vials or caskets. Since XVIII century amethyst started to be used in Europe for jewellery – mainly for brooches and necklaces, rings, earrings and cuff links.
Beautifully coloured violet and red stones are used now in precious jewellery in combination with diamonds and emeralds. Before XVIII century Ceylon (today Sri Lanka)got the place of the main supplier of amethysts. There amethysts were mined from placers. In the first half of the XVIII century mines were opened in Germany and in the mountains of Ural. In the middle if the XIX century amethysts started to be mined in Brazil. The gems found there are characterized by a very beautiful dark-violet colour, though traditionally Ural amethysts are called the most beautiful ones. Ceylon amethysts are light-lilac, and are blood-red and purple. Both these varieties can change their glitter and play because of the lightning. There are also rare amethysts, that do not change their colour at all or get reddish tint.
This quality of amethysts is highly appreciated by the travelers, for the change of its colour in daytime usually points to a coming storm or strong wind. This is explained by the fact, that amethyst, unlike other varieties of quartz, has a schistose structure.
See the world in emerald lighting
The name emerald originates from the Latin word “esmerauds” and the Greek one ’smaragdos’, that have Semitic or ancient Indian roots. Supposingly, the word meant ‘a green gem’ and could be attributed to different jewels.
A green variety of limpid beryl, called emerald or smaragd, has been considered one of the most beautiful jewels for 4 000 years, and is also said to be very beneficial for a man’s well-being. From time to time emerald was valued even higher, than diamond, however, today, when the scientists have a possibility to produce artificial emeralds, the price of the gem has fallen.
The variety of green tints, emerald can possess, really can strike one imagination: dill-green, spinach-green, olive, pistachio, laurel, the colour of fresh leaves, dark-green. This variety is created by a different correlations of chrome, iron and vanadium admixtures, and the colouring is very stable. Only the emeralds of the highest quality can be limpid.
In ancient times the stone was mined near present-day Asuan, and the old mines are known today as The Emerald Mines of Cleopatra, though the works there had started long before the famous queen of beauty was born. Emerald used to be very important for the Egyptians, as there was a tradition to decorate mummies with this gem. The Emerald Mines of Cleopatra were re-opened at the beginning if the XIX century. But, of course, the most beautiful emeralds of the highest quality come to the customers from Columbia. It were Incas to start mining emeralds in this area, and later the mines were utterly forgotten and found only by the Spaniards, that started to supply Europe with strikingly beautiful Columbian emeralds in the XVI century, and continued to stay the only suppliers in the world up to the middle of the XIX century. Today high-quality emeralds are also mined in Russia, the USA, India, Afghanistan and South America.
Limpid gems, that are considered to be of the best quality, are extremely rare. Usually they are turbid, and this effect is produced by minor impurities or splits, which are called by the specialists with a French word jardin – garden. These inclusions prove, that the stone is of the natural origin.
