Amethyst

What is Amethyst?

Amethyst is the purple variety of quartz, coloured by iron and trace elements, with a hardness of 7. It is the birthstone for February.

Amethyst Benefits & Meaning

Amethyst is associated with calm, clarity and focus, and has been treasured since antiquity for its royal purple colour. It is worn for both beauty and its soothing reputation.

How to Identify an Original Amethyst

Natural amethyst shows an even purple colour, good transparency and a glassy lustre; colour may range from deep purple to soft lilac. Because imitations are common in the market, buy from a trusted seller — every stone at GemStore.pk is hand-inspected and, where applicable, lab-verifiable.

Buying from GemStore.pk

How we verify every stone

Before a listing goes live the piece is weighed on a calibrated carat scale, examined under magnification for treatment and filling, photographed in daylight and described exactly as it is. Anything we cannot verify as natural is simply not sold. You are welcome to have any purchase independently tested — that is what lab-verifiable means.

Delivery, payment and returns

Orders are packed in a padded box and sent by tracked courier to every city in Pakistan, usually within 1–3 working days for major cities and 3–5 elsewhere. Pay the rider on delivery after checking the parcel. If the item arrives damaged or is not as described, tell us within 7 days for a replacement or a full refund — see the Return Policy.
