Amethyst is a violet variety of the quartz mineral. Its violet color ranges from a very light pink tone to a very dark violet tone. The stone´s healing power is the following: supporting meditation and eliminating anger, rage, drug addiction and alcoholism. The effects of amethyst on the body are the following: it tightens and smoothens the conjunctive tissues and, therefore, makes the skin more resistant to external influences. Amethyst is used to combat migraine and other muscular tensions due to stress. Native Americans had amethyst stones in their teepees and wigwams to have a relaxing sleep without any nightmares.

Glass is an amorph, i.e. not crystalline substance. Glass is usually produced by melting quartz sand and other materials. Objects seen in daily life and made out of glass (e.g. drinking vessels/glass and window glass, TV screens and light bulbs) are just a samples of the variety of glasses. Most of the famous glass jewelries of the world is made of Murano glass, which was first created in the Murano Island near Venice in the 13th century.

The material silk is an animal fiber, which is obtained from the cocoons of the silkworm. Silk consists mainly of protein and is the only continuous textile fiber found in nature.
