Found all over the world, Amethyst is a variety of quartz widely admired for its striking purple hues. Significant deposits exist in Brazil, Uruguay, Zambia, Russia, Madagascar, India, and the United States. Its durability and vibrant color have made it a popular choice for jewelry, carvings, and ornamental objects throughout history.
 
The name “Amethyst” comes from the Greek word amethystos, meaning “not intoxicated.” In ancient Greek and Roman times, it was believed to ward off drunkenness. Associated with Bacchus, the god of wine, the legend holds that carrying an Amethyst while drinking would help one remain sober and maintain mental clarity. Across many cultures, it has also been valued for its spiritual and protective qualities, often used in ceremonial and decorative contexts.
 
Today, Amethyst is widely used to enhance spiritual consciousness, particularly during meditation. It is believed to awaken intuition, facilitate connection with higher-frequency energies, and promote calm and clarity of mind. Amethyst is also recognized as the birthstone for February, symbolizing wisdom, serenity, and spiritual insight.
