Amethyst is a violet variety of quartz often used in jewelry. The name comes from the Ancient Greek for not intoxicated, a reference to the belief that the stone protected its owner from drunkenness. The ancient Greeks wore amethyst and made drinking vessels decorated with it in the belief that it would prevent intoxication. Cleopatra is said to have worn a ring made of Amethyst engraved with the image of Mithras, a Persian. It is one of several forms of quartz. Amethyst is a semiprecious stone and is the traditional birthstone for February.  Amethyst was as expensive as ruby and emerald until the 19th Century, when Brazil’s large deposits were discovered. Today, as the most valued quartz variety, amethyst is in demand for designer pieces and mass-market jewelry alike, and its purple to pastel hues retain wide consumer appeal.

According to Metaphysics: Amethyst is a calming and meditative stone that works on emotional, spiritual, and physical levels to foster calm, balance, patience, and peace. It is commonly used in spiritual practices to deepen your connection to your inner self and enhance intuitive abilities. Beyond boosting intuition, Amethyst’s metaphysical properties aid in finding inner peace, helping you relax and unwind when you need it most—whether before sleep, during stressful times, or prior to meditation.
