Quartz is found in abundance from every corner of the earth. In its purest form, quartz is colorless, but is most prized for its purple variety: amethyst. The traditional birthstone for the month of February, is available in small and large sizes, although as with all gemstones, very large sizes in rich, deep colors have always been rare.
