Until the 1800s, the amethyst was a gemstone prized as highly as rubies by royalty and the rich. Mythology claims that it is a stone of protection. In fact, the name amethyst is derived from the ancient Greek for “not intoxicated.” The Pink Amethyst Obelisk is a raw stone shaped into a stately pillar that enhances the rich gradation of white and soft pink hues. Available in Small, Medium, and Large.
