-Amethyst is a violet (violet or purple) variant of the mineral quartz and is used for decorative purposes as a gemstone.
-Starts life as transparent quartz but when it is found in places on the Earth’s mantle where high temperatures and pressures develop, it turns purple. Of course, depending on the variety of the stone, the purple can border on black, while in another cut it may appear completely colorless.
-The name comes from the abstract “a” and the verb “to get drunk” (mitho), as in ancient times it was believed that this gem protected its owner from drunkenness!
In antiquity it was one of the rarest and most valuable stones and its price often reached or even exceeded that of a diamond! The price of this stone fell when huge deposits of it were discovered in South America.
-Amethyst is said to be the stone of meditation.
