The first use of amethyst was from the ancient Egyptians who use it as a gemstone at 3000 b.c.
Some countries that have amethyst mines are Brazil, Sri Lanka and Madagascar.
The word "amethyst" is derived from the Greek word "amethystos," meaning "not intoxicated." Ancient Greeks believed that wearing or holding an amethyst could protect them from drunkenness. This belief led to the stone's association with sobriety and its use in preventing intoxication.
Amethyst is not typically found in Connecticut. It is mostly found in locations such as Brazil, Uruguay, and Zambia.
Amethyst rocks are commonly found in geodes, which are round rocks with a hollow cavity lined with crystals. They can also be found in mineral deposits within volcanic rocks or as secondary minerals in hydrothermal veins. Amethyst deposits are often associated with quartz, as both minerals belong to the same family.
Yes, you can find amethyst there. It will most likely be of the mineral collector's variety, small clusters of crystals with uneven color and highly included, not the type of crystals that would normally be cut into gems that you would find in a fine jewelry store. Still, you might get lucky and the experience is fun, so why not give it a try if you are there? To my knowledge the best amethyst today is coming from Brazil and labs in Russia (buyer beware, it is virtually undetectable):)
