Amethyst is a semi-precious stone that derives its name from the Ancient Greek word “μέθυστοςméthystos” denoting drunkenness.
This was in reference to the belief that Amethyst protects its owner from becoming inebriated. A stone worn on the body had a sobering effect, not only for the inebriation but in over-zealousness in passion. The religious leader’s often worn Amethyst to keep them grounded in spiritual thought.
This exquisite crystal was used as gemstones by the ancient Egyptians, while the European soldiers wore amulets, therefore they believed it would protect them, heal them and keep them calm.
Amethyst is a variety of Quartz, the second most abundant mineral in the earth’s crust after feldspar, which gets its violet colour due to the iron impurities and presence of trace elements.

Amber is fossilised tree resin, appreciated for its colour and natural beauty since ancient Neolithic times.
It is used for decorative pieces, jewellery, as an ingredient in perfumes and as a healing agent.
The molecular polymerisation occurs during high pressure and heat by overlying sediment transforms the resin into copal, continually heat rids terpenes and results in the formation of amber. Amber can sometimes retain its formation of drops or stalactites, lumps and irregular forms if found in hollow cavities or cracks in trees.
Amber is heterogeneous in composition but consists of resinous bodies. The decomposition occurs when heated above 200 degrees Fahrenheit.

Agate derives its name from the Greek philosopher and naturalist who discovered the stone along the river Achates’ shoreline in the 3rd century BC.
Many colourful agates and chalcedonies were obtained from the river now called Dirillo in Sicily.
Evidence from the Neolithic period suggests that it was used as healing amulets and ornamentation. The ancient Greeks and Egyptians adopted it for medicinal and healing purposes, which spread to other civilisations in time.
It occurs as nodules in volcanic rocks or lavas and as volatiles in the molten mass. When the Agate fills veins in volcanic rock and underlain with granite, it appears as banded, riband and striped agate. It is recognised by its fineness of grain and brightness of colour.
