Amethyst
Amethysts are one of the five types of gems found in Diablo III. The others are Ruby, Emerald, Topaz, and Diamonds, the last added in Patch 2.0.1 and Reaper of Souls. See the main gems article for full details about gem scarcity, upgrade recipes, strategy, and more.
Amethysts are the vitality/healing gem, adding life% in helms, vitality in armor, and Life per Hit in Weapons. They are much more valued in Hardcore than normal play mode.
