Violet gemstone (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

amethyst

'violet gemstone' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for amethyst that I've seen before include "Purplish gemstone" , "One showing sparkling facets" , "Precious stone of purple quartz" , "rock" , "A Middle East language" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Times.
