Here as many as 54 amethyst beads are nicely put together to create this beautiful japa mala.
Amethyst is a violet variety of quartz often used in jewelry. The name comes from the Ancient Greek ἀ a- ("not") and μέθυστος methustos ("intoxicated"), a reference to the belief that the stone protected its owner from drunkenness. The ancient Greeks and Romans wore amethyst and made drinking vessels of it in the belief that it would prevent intoxication. It is one of several forms of quartz. Amethyst is a semiprecious stone and is the traditional birthstone for February. Amethyst is a purple variety of quartz and owes its violet colour to irradiation, iron impurities and the presence of trace elements, which result in complex crystal lattice substitutions. The hardness of the mineral is the same as quartz, thus it is suitable for use in jewelry. Of very variable intensity, the colour of amethyst is often laid out in stripes parallel to the final faces of the crystal. The wearer of such a mala gets piece of mind and good health. It also helps in concentration during meditation.
