Amethyst is undoubtedly one of the world’s best-known gemstones. Its name derives from the ancient Greek word ‘améthystos’, which means ‘sober’. The ancient Greeks and Romans believed that the stone could protect against drunkenness. They therefore drank from amethyst goblets, as they were convinced that these would prevent intoxication. The oldest known deposits to date are found in Egypt (Wadi el-Hudi). Inscriptions discovered on stelae at this site refer to the goddess Hathor as the ‘Lady of Amethyst’.
It is also closely associated with the Christian tradition, which regards it as a stone of purity, piety and humility. It adorned the liturgical vestments of bishops. Alchemy regards it as a force of transformation, purification and balance between the material and the spiritual. As it is also associated with royalty, it was incorporated into the jewellery of the nobility. Even today, it adorns the Crown of England.
Amethyst is an absolute must-have in crystal healing and a remarkable cleansing stone, traditionally known for expanding consciousness and awakening spirituality. It acts as a bath of serenity and radiates a calming energy that is ideal for relieving anxiety and everyday stress, thereby promoting deep, restful sleep free from nightmares. It fosters inner harmony, contributes to emotional balance and, at the same time, opens the doors to intuition. Whether worn as jewellery or placed in the home, amethyst remains a valuable guide for all who seek wisdom and mental clarity.

Amethyst:
Amethyst is a variety of quartz known for its violet colour, which can range from pale violet to deep violet. Its violet colour stems from exposure to natural radiation and the presence of iron. The name ‘amethyst’ derives from the Ancient Greek ‘amethystos’, meaning ‘sober’. The ancient Greeks believed that amethyst had the power to prevent drunkenness and loss of control. According to legend, the nymph named Amethystos, to escape the advances of Bacchus, was transformed into a white stone statue by the goddess Artemis. Bacchus, furious, poured wine over the statue, but every drop of wine that touched the young woman stained the stone purple. Thus associated with sobriety, the ancient Greeks and Romans wore amethyst jewellery and used cups made of this stone to drink wine, believing that this would protect them from excess. This belief in amethyst’s ability to counteract the effects of alcohol has endured. Even today, amethyst is associated with clarity of mind. It is also a stone associated with royalty and was set in the jewellery of the aristocracy; it still adorns the Crown of England to this day.
The main sources of amethyst are: Brazil, Uruguay, Russia, Zambia and India
