One of the most popular semi-precious gemstones, amethyst is highly valued by many people for many reasons, including the pure and simple love of the color purple in all its fabulous shades.
It is the presence of manganese in the stones that produce amethyst's general color, while the amount of iron creates its varying shades of purple.
Amethyst is a violet variety of quartz. The name comes from the Greek word αμέθυστος "amethystos" from α- a-, "not" and μεθύσκω (Ancient Greek) methysko / μεθώ metho (Modern Greek), "intoxicate," a reference to the belief that the stone protected its owner from drunkenness.
Many ancient Greeks wore amethyst and carved drinking vessels from it in the belief that it would prevent intoxication.
Amethyst has long been associated with February, the month the ancient Romans dedicated to Neptune, their water god, and is the official birthstone of that month.
For the spiritually-minded, amethyst crystal properties help to relax the mind, body, and spirit. For many people, amethyst is also a stone of spiritual protection and purification, helping to cleanse one’s energy field of negative influences and attachments.
