Added a rutilated frostbite amethyst

New page

'''Amethyst''' is a purple veriety of [[quartz]], comprised of Silicon oxide and possibly manganese. Amethyst exposed to extreme heat turns yellow, becomming yellow quartz. The term "Amethyst" comes from a greek phrase meaning, "Not intoxicated," a reference to the belief that the stone could prevent intoxication.<sup>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amethyst]</sup> Originally, Amethyst was considered one of the cardinal [[gems|gemstones]] along with [[diamond]], [[sapphire]], [[ruby]], and [[emerald]], however, the discovery of large deposits of amethyst has greatly lowered its value.

The world of [[Elanthia]] attaches the amethyst to the [[Arkati]], [[Cholen]], who reigns over wine and merrymaking. It is still regarded as a ward against drunkeness as a result. The amethyst is a signature jewel of the Elven house of [[Loenthra]].
