Amethyst: Lavender, Cloud and Light
Pale lavender and deep purple give amethyst a softly shifting character, with cloudy whitish areas toward the broad, irregular bases. Bright highlights catch the flat, angular faces; elsewhere, translucent patches offer a glimpse into the purple. Fine lines and uneven edges bring texture to the contrast between reflective surfaces and pointed tops.
Amethyst takes its name from the Greek amethystos, reflecting an old belief about sobriety. It is a small thread of human history woven into the name.
The pointed outline suggests a tiny headland beneath scattered stars. In an imagined constellation cove, those cloudy areas become pale mist, while the bright faces hold the last gleam of a violet evening.
