Amethyst, the most prized variety of quartz, ranges from delicate lilac to deep royal purple. Revered since antiquity, it has long been associated with wisdom, healing, and emotional balance. Its crystals often form inside geodes, creating stunning natural sculptures. Amethyst has adorned jewelry from ancient Greece and Rome to Victorian heirlooms and 20th-century glamour. Its enduring popularity is tied to the mystique of the color purple—once reserved for royalty.
Peridot is one of the world’s oldest known gems, cherished by the ancient Egyptians. A rare member of the olivine family, only the finest specimens—those with exceptional color, clarity, and brilliance—earn the name Peridot. Like diamonds, it forms deep within Earth’s mantle under intense heat and pressure, surfacing through volcanic activity. Peridot appears in only one color: a luminous golden-green that seems to glow from within—vibrant, citrusy, and electric.
Aquamarine captivates even in its raw form, with large, hexagonal crystals admired as natural sculptures. Its name, meaning “seawater,” reflects its serene blue tones—evoking clear skies and shimmering oceans. The finest aquamarines are crystal-clear, with no visible inclusions, and their cool, clean hue conveys purity and calm. Historically believed to protect sailors and enhance foresight, aquamarine is also associated with clarity, courage, and joy.
Discovered in 1910, Morganite is a relatively young gemstone with a timeless allure. Its soft blush pink, caused by traces of manganese, sets it apart from brighter pink stones like sapphire or tourmaline. Morganite’s hues are moody and romantic—dusty rose, peach, and sometimes tinged with orange or brown—evoking vintage charm and faded velvet.
Citrine, a golden variety of quartz, is celebrated for its warmth and versatility. Its sunny hues—ranging from pale lemon to rich amber—are the result of iron traces during formation. Popular in Art Deco and 1940s jewelry, citrine was often set in bold yellow gold for a glamorous effect. Known as the “merchant’s stone,” it’s believed to attract prosperity, boost confidence, and enhance mental clarity.
