Amethyst: History and Lore
Amethyst has been treasured for thousands of years. Ancient civilizations believed it carried both earthly and divine power, a crystal that could calm the mind and protect the spirit.
Its name comes from the Greek word amethystos, meaning “not intoxicated.” The Greeks and Romans believed it could prevent drunkenness and promote clear thinking. They carved goblets from it and wore it as jewelry during feasts, hoping to stay balanced in body and mind.
Egyptian royalty valued Amethyst for protection and spiritual clarity, often using it in amulets and burial jewelry. In medieval Europe, it symbolized purity and was worn by priests and royalty to remind them to stay wise and fair.
Amethyst has long been seen as a stone of peace, protection, and spiritual strength. In many cultures, it was believed to create a barrier against negative energy and emotional turmoil. Its deep purple color was linked to royalty and higher wisdom, seen as a connection between the human and the divine.
Even now, people turn to Amethyst for calm, clarity, and deeper understanding of themselves. It reminds us that real strength often comes from stillness.
