What Does Amethyst Smoke Symbolize?
For most of human history, amethyst smoke was the most expensive color on earth — Tyrian purple dye required thousands of sea snails per gram, so only emperors could afford it. That heritage survives: amethyst smoke still signals royalty, luxury and rarity. It also bridges warm red and cool blue, giving it a mysterious, creative, slightly magical personality.
