About Amethysts
Amethyst gets its name from the Greek word ametusthos which means ‘not intoxicated’ or 'not drunk'. For centuries, amethyst healing properties are thought to help prevent overindulgence, with the Ancient Greeks believing you could drink all night and remain sober if you had an amethyst in your mouth or on your person. They not only wore amethyst gemstones, as a necklace or pendant, but also carved out drinking vessels from it and sometimes even adding powdered amethysts to their drink.
Royalty associated the colour purple with nobility and high-ranking priests wore amethysts to represent piety. At this time, only people of the highest social status wore amethysts, however, over the centuries, more sources of the colourful gem were discovered, making it more available and affordable.
