Why amethyst for the sixth anniversary
Iron and sugar are the traditional sixth gifts: strength and sweetness, the two things a marriage needs by year six. The gemstone list gives amethyst, a purple quartz long tied to calm and clear thinking.
Amethyst is 7 on the Mohs scale, so it wears well in earrings and pendants. Every listing states where the stone comes from and any treatment it has had, and the Transparency Manifest shows what each part of the piece costs.
