Amethyst is one of the most cherished stones of all time, highly valued by all cultures. It has a rich history filled with legends, customs, and beliefs. It possesses incomparable beauty, and although today it is classified as a semi-precious stone, in ancient times it was known as the "gemstone of fire," sometimes reaching prices comparable to diamonds. Amethyst radiates divinity and purity, making any piece crafted from it truly exceptional.
Metaphysical Properties of AMETHYST - The name Amethyst comes from the Greek word "ametushtos," meaning "sober," rooted in an ancient legend. The god of wine, Bacchus, enraged by an insult, vowed that the first person he encountered would be torn apart by his tigers. The unfortunate mortal turned out to be a beautiful maiden on her way to worship at the temple of Diana. Her name was Amethyst. When the fierce beasts appeared, she sought protection from the goddess. To save her, Diana transformed her into a transparent white crystal. In a fit of remorse, Bacchus poured grape juice over the stone, giving it a lovely purple hue. There are numerous variations of this legend, but they all share the belief that amethyst has the power to prevent drunkenness and unhealthy indulgence in pleasures. The ancient Greeks and Romans routinely adorned their cups with amethyst, believing that the wine drunk from them would not intoxicate them. Another practice was to wear the stone as an amulet tied around the waist to reduce lust and repel temptations of the flesh. Catholic bishops wore rings with amethyst to protect themselves from mystical intoxication. The modern spiritual person would immediately recognize the high vibration of the purple stone, which corresponds to the psychic center at the top of the head. The violet rays carry the magical power of dreams, inspiration, and destiny. They stimulate the creative use of vital energy, intellect, and life wisdom. The paler, white-lavender rays of amethyst crystals correspond to even higher vibrations expressed as true humility and spiritual purity. They aid in connecting with the soul and stimulate processes of inner transformation and enlightenment.
