Amethysts are one of the four types of gems found in Diablo III.

During the first year of Diablo 3, Amethysts showed the most divergence in value between softcore and hardcore. They became the least valuable gem for Softcore characters, since adding Vitality, Life, or Life on Hit is not a real priority for immortal characters.

In Hardcore on the other hand, Amethysts became the most popular and valuable gem, since mortal characters need all the health they can get.
