Don't think so. I only came across spider veins and varicose veins as medical terms. There was a recovery center called Amethyst and it had a page on damaged veins but amethyst veins were not mentioned. Alcohol can cause the purple veins.
I wasn't familiar with the term myself, but they came up on an image search after about 20 or so pictures of amethyst. Try it and see. Feruza says this in the interview:
O2: What is the meaning of the band's name?
Amethyst color is associated with space. We like to imagine that not just blood flows through the veins, but, let's say, cosmic energy.
If you do a yandex.ru search on Аметистовые Вены you get about 20 pictures of the group, then a whole bunch of medical images, and only the odd bit of amethyst, so I assume they must know, and perhaps the dual meaning was intentional? Whatever, it doesn't affect the quality of their music but I wonder how many people junked my email thinking it was a sales pitch for a cure for the condition...lol.
I did the yandex search and saw what you were describing. However, the first medical image of legs had a title under it in Russian (my wife translated) that read varicose veins not amethyst veins. As you must know w/ image searches the algorithm pulls in all kinds of related images that are not always germane to the search words.
I looked up varicose and found the meanings did not relate to color but to form: swollen, dilated or distended.
Amethyst is considered a healing gem, more along mental lines than physical. Essential oils and diet change are recommended more than crystals. Rose quartz would be the one to use if any. But it seems to be more about blood flow in relation to the heart than legs.
I don't think Feruza's statement necessarily indicates she thinks amethyst cures varicose veins, unless it's a Russian folk remedy and/or amethyst veins is Russian slang for varicose veins. In the latter case, it would be a tasteless joke to name your meditative band such.
I'm going to post some pop songs soon of the kind you'll hear on FM radio. Not my main thing but I want to cover all the bases, and some of them are well produced and catchy. Easier to hear what they're singing than this shoegaze stuff where burying the vocals in sound seems to be a thing. Good sword video BTW. Kind of a 'don't tread on me' statement similar to the Sikhs:
A peculiar name to say the least. I'm sure they know what amethyst veins are in medical terminology because we all eventually get them around the ankles and calves...lol! So, weird double entendre there. I didn't include any images of course since who wants to look at that, right?

All good points and no argument from me. Bit of a side issue anyway when you listen to the music and her voice, which is just awesome!
Yes! I know finding songs I like will help with speaking Russian!
Check out my last thingy-bob ‘Kosovo’ I think you’ll enjoy it?
