Amethyst or Katela
Amethyst is a purple-colored, semiprecious gem of the quartz mineral family. It is known as katela or jamunia in Hindi. It is a substitute for Neelam stone, and people use it to protect themselves from the evil effects of Saturn. Amethyst is considered extremely important for reducing the effects of alcoholism.
Aries, Cancer, Leo, and Scorpio people can wear it in certain situations. It is customary to give it as a gift on the fourth or sixth wedding anniversary.
