the history...
Still to this day, Amethyst is a much cherished stone, in Ancient times, a Precious Stone, it's worth as much as a Diamond. The Gem of Fire it has been known as, carrying an energy of fire and passion whilst bearing the power of self control and sobriety.
The name Amethyst derives from the Greek word ametusthos, meaning “not intoxicated,” and comes from an ancient legend of Dyonisus, the Greek God of Wine.
the mythology...
Dyonisus became angry over an insult and in turn intoxicated, deciding to avenge himself by turning his two guardian tigers on the next living being he saw, who happened to be an innocent mortal woman, named Amethyst on her way to worship the Temple of Diana. As the tigers approached, Amethyst prayed for protection and as they pounced, without much time, Goddess Diana intervened, turning Amethyst into a clear stone to save her from such a terrible fate. Dyonisus, immediately regretting his cruelty, poured every last drop of his wine over the stone as an offering, giving the Crystal the beautiful, deep purple hue we can still see today, Amethyst.
