Why We Sat Down with a Crystal Expert
The Questions We Had About Amethyst
After ten years of selling amethyst crystal bracelets, we thought we'd heard it all. Then a customer walked in with a question that stumped us — something about the color zoning in a specific amethyst stone bracelet she'd bought on vacation. We gave her a decent answer, but honestly? It nagged at us. We knew the basics. We wanted the deep stuff.
So we reached out to someone who's spent more time with amethyst than anyone we know. Dr. Helena Vance is a gemologist who's been sourcing and studying quartz varieties for over 25 years. She's consulted for museums and private collectors. She also happens to be one of the most down-to-earth people we've ever met — the kind of expert who'll tell you a purple amethyst bracelet is beautiful because it's beautiful, not because of a 3,000-word metaphysical essay.
