Amethyst Pendant BE0346

Amethyst is a variety of quartz that grows in fine pyramidal crystals. Its name is of Greek origin. The ancient Greeks believed that anyone who wore amethyst jewelry was relieved of the effects of intoxication. In the Bible it is identified with the ninth tribe of Issachar and adorns the vestments of the great high priest of Solomon’s temple. In John’s Revelation, he is the twelfth stone of the new Jerusalem. It comes from the sedimentary rocks of Brazil, Uruguay, Mexico, the United States, the Ural Mountains, the Czech Republic and Switzerland. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
