Amethyst is a rather expensive stone, so there is always the possibility that you can buy a fake. In fact, it is very easy to distinguish a fake stone from a natural one. A real amethyst heats up very slowly, and a fake will become warm in a matter of seconds. Amethyst never has a solid color; you can observe tiny cracks and specks. In addition, the pebble is very hard, and it is impossible to scratch and damage it, therefore, if a scratch remains after drawing it with a needle or knife, you are in front of an ordinary glass.

As for caring for amethyst products, it will not be difficult. The main thing is that salt water and aggressive chemical components, which can deteriorate the quality of the amethyst, do not get on the jewelry.
It is better to store the jewelry in a cool, warm place, away from bright sunlight. To cleanse the pebble of accumulated dust and negative energy, you can often wash it in cold water. And if the product is slightly cloudy or darkened, a toothpaste and a brush will help.
