It&#8217;s a pure, rich, warm purple all the way through. Amethyst derives it&#8217;s name from a Greek word meaning &#8220;without drunkenness&#8221; because it was believed to protect the wearer from poisons. Amethyst is a semi-precious gemstone and is a very powerful stone being used for insomnia, protection, wisdom and healing. Amethyst is also traditionally associated with royalty and people of great wealth.<\/p>\n<p>Measuring approximately 1.25&#8243; wide by 1.75&#8243; high (not including bail), it&#8217;s a lovely size both for everyday and special occasion wear.<\/p>\n<p>Available for purchase <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/listing\/71625308\/february-tree-amethyst-gemstone-in\"><B>HERE<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stunning amethyst micro-faceted rondelles are set in sterling silver wire to form a beautiful Tree of Life pendant.
