Have fun wearing it or giving it as a gift

Amethyst has a history that goes back over 4,000 years:

The name amethyst comes from the Greek: amethystos, which translates as unintoxicated, counteracting the intoxication  means. Given the color, it was believed that the wearer of amethyst would be immune to the intoxicating effects of wine. It was also claimed that drinking wine from an amethyst cup should not make you drunk. People already recognized the clarifying effect of the stone at this time. 

Others are convinced that the name Amethyst has a divine origin. Bacchus, the god of wine, is said to have poured wine on a nymph named Amethyst who had been transformed into a crystal, whereupon she turned purple. 

In general, there are countless legends and myths surrounding amethyst. Amethyst is said to have abilities that protect against evil thoughts, magic and homesickness. 

Famous personalities also spoke about amethyst. Konrad von Megenberg said in his German Natural History: "The amethyst is one of twelve chosen stones of the apocalypse." Pliny says that amethyst is supposed to protect against snake bites. Even the biblical Moses described the amethyst as a symbol of God's spirit in the vestments of the Jewish high priest. 

Be that as it may, it is undisputed that amethyst with its seductive color has delighted people for centuries.
