Jambumani Explanation: 'Amethyst' would be 'jambumani'. 'Jambu' means 'the colour purple'. 'Neelam' or 'Neelmani' would be incorrect translation as it means 'sapphire'. However, both 'jambumani' and 'neelmani' have Sanskrit roots. 1. Rajpal English Hindi Dictionary, New Delhi 2. Oxford Hindi English Dictionary, New Delhi. |
