The name "amethyst" comes from the Greek and means "not drunken." This was perhaps due to a belief that amethyst would ward off the belongings of alcohol, but most likely the Greeks were referring to the almost wine-like color of some gravel that they might have encountered. Its color is unparalleled, and even other, more luxurious purple gemstones are often compared to its color and attractiveness. Although it must forever be purple to be amethyst, it could and does have a wide range of purple shades.

Healing ability: Amethyst magnifies psychic abilities and even right-brain activity. It strengthens immunity, while energizing and also purifying the blood. Amethyst relieves you from headaches, improves blood sugar inequity.

Mystical power: The Greek work "amethysts" basically could be translated as "not drunken” expresses the ancient folk belief that the stone protects its owner against drunkenness. As the myth goes, drinking wine from an Amethyst goblet will prevent one from becoming inebriated. The gemstone still then symbolizes sobriety.
