Hmmmm, I was first thinking about red coral and then maybe pearl. But not sure about the misleading name part. Mother of pearl? That's a wild guess. I may be snooping down the wrong trail.
The first clue would indicate some kind of amulet, which are many .. like amethyst.
The second probably a tradename, like smokey topaz.
3rd could be twinning or an isomorphous series, I think twinning.
4th probably hydrothermal.
Last clue I have no clue about .. maybe a K-feldspar .. potassium is good for you.
Excellent reasoning. You almost talked me into it. It's not amethyst though.
In all fairness, each of us may be working with different gem references. Maybe Aesop can help.
P.S. Due to the nature and origin of this gem, it's hard for me to devise clues without practically giving the answer away. Hopefully it will make sense once it's revealed.
