Imagine losing your bling in a muddy moat! Archaeologists just pulled a 600-year-old amethyst set in fire-gilded silver from a medieval castle’s moat in Poland. This gem was probably part of a brooch or crown—totally high-status, and maybe even magical (medieval folks thought amethysts could ward off bad dreams and treason!). The best part? It wasn’t hidden in a tomb or treasure chest, just dropped by some fancy aristocrat on a regular day. Wild, right? #History #Archaeology #Medieval
