Quartz is one of the most common minerals in the Earth’s crust. It displays a profusion of colors, patterns and even optical effects. Along with Rose Quartz and Smoky Quartz, you’ll find Amethyst and Citrine with their beautiful transparent colors as well as Tigereye with its silky sheen. And then there’s Agate with all its beautiful and intricate banding. The natural abundance and infinite variety of quartz have made it the most widely used of all gem minerals.

In the Quartz family, Amethyst is mentioned in the Bible in the book of Revelation as Paul describes the New Jerusalem where God’s people will live with Him forever. Revelation 21:l reads “Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. Revelation 21:19-20 describes the gemstones in the foundation…”The foundations of the city walls were decorated with all kinds of precious stone. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, the fifth sardonyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst."
