(ADVERTISEMENT) fiKMBOHKK by Dale Allen Registered Jeweler-American Gem Society AMETHYST This week let's discuss Ame thyst, one of the loveliest of transparent gems. It is a variety of crystalline quartz found in shades varying from faintest vio let to deep purple. The latter arc ine most acsiv-M$gmww able and valu able although rr.l-ntivr.lv inpv- pensive s i n c e if" i,- ,i,;i.-s of recent years in Brazil. Being a particularly beautiful ficm slone, Amelhvst often enters the fashion parade since it becomes blonde, brunette, redhead ana gray haired person alike. With white summer wear it is exceptionally pieasmg. Historically, Amctnyst was a favorite of the ancients many years before the Christian era. It is mentioned in the Bible as the third stone in the third row in the jeweled breastplate containing the twelve precious stones, worn by Aaron. And in the New Testament, these stones became the foundation stones of the New Jerusalem described in Revelation. Roman women prized the Amethyst, believing it could insure their husbands' love; and the Greeks believed it to have a sobering effect. Persons born in February are fortunate to have this exceptionally lovely birth stone available at such reasonable cost. Amethyst is not produced synthetically, although there are Imitations on the market which have been sold as "Synthetic Amethyst." And so again--choose Jewelers before choosing Gems! 77 "Till- Store IntccTlly Built' TWO LOCATIONS 1212 Willamette St. Wester Village 911 River Road ELECTRICAL TIPS It Sow-to-Heaf Appliances Cof UWIN I blame your el lectrical quipmsnt.
