Small Amethyst Clustered Crystal Tree on Amethyst Cut Base

Frequently called the “The Stone of Peace”, Amethyst is the most highly valued stone in the quartz group.  It has a Greek etymology from the word “amethystos”, which translates to “not drunken”.  This semiprecious stone that can found anywhere in the world, was often worn in Ancient Greece to fight off the effects of alcohol to prevent drunkenness.  Although purple Amethyst is most commonly known, the quartz will sometimes be a reddish or bluish purple. When it is heat treated it changes from purple to a yellow, orange or brown and is often mistaken for Citrine.

 

History

In ancient Rome and ancient Greece, Amethyst's power was used to fight off the effects of alcohol due to the belief that drinking with an Amethyst cup or drinking with the quartz in your mouth would keep the drinker sober. The Greeks believed that the quartz was created when the Goddess Diana turned into a white stone after Dionysus called to her, but she did not answer, so he cried into his wine and spilled it onto the stone turning it purple.  The Romans also believed that the stone could ward off the seductions of the Roman god of wine, Bacchus.

The Ancient Egyptians believed that Amethyst protected the wearer from harm.  The Christian Church references the stone many times in the Bible as a representation for piety and celibacy.  The quartz has been favored by royalty and clergy as a symbol for the deity of Christ and is used in the rings of Bishops.  Leonardo Davinci thought that Amethyst could be used to quicken intelligence and rid the mind of evil thought due to the stone’s purity.
