Interesting Facts About Amethyst:
Amethyst has carried deep symbolism for millennia. The ancient Greeks wore amethyst amulets and carved drinking vessels from it because they believed it prevented drunkenness — that’s where the name comes from (Greek “amethystos” = “not intoxicated”). Roman soldiers wore amethyst into battle for courage and clear thinking.
In the Middle Ages, Catholic clergy wore amethyst rings as symbols of piety and celibacy — purple was a royal and religious color reserved for bishops and cardinals. The stone appears in the British Crown Jewels and was a favorite of Catherine the Great of Russia.
