About Amethyst: Amethyst is a semiprecious gemstone that comes in varying shades of violet, from lavender to vibrant dark purple. The word Amethyst comes from the Greek word améthystos, meaning "not intoxicated". Ancient Greeks thought it was useful against overindulgence and both wore it as jewelry and carved drinking vessels from it. It is thought to be a stone of tranquility, calmness, and peace, and is considered to be one of the most powerful and protective stones.
About Copper: Please note that copper wire naturally darkens over time although with care and cleaning it can be kept bright and shiny. Also, when worn directly against skin, copper can react with your sweat to form a green layer of copper carbonate. This chemical reaction is not harmful.
