Amethyst

As you look through the delicate, stiff pages, something slides out and falls to the floor with a clink like metal. You look down and see a lovely amethyst pendant shining on the dusty floorboards, a smooth purple crystalline stone held in a delicately worked setting of bright silver. You pick it up, the silver chain dangling from your hand, and inspect it curiously. It catches the dim light at every turn and captures it in brilliant purple depths, reflecting it back dazzlingly almost like a live flame.
