For many, amethyst represents sobriety and serenity, grounding those who wear it. From meditation practices to daily wear, amethyst bracelets are seen as calming aids that promote a clear mind.
The Myths and Legends of Amethyst
The origins of amethyst’s significance trace back to ancient Greece, where the stone was thought to prevent intoxication. In fact, the word 'amethyst' derives from the Greek word 'amethystos,' meaning 'not intoxicated.' Legend has it that amethyst was created from the tears of the god Dionysus, mixed with the clarity of quartz. Because of this, amethyst became a symbol of purity, moderation, and balance. It has since been incorporated into sacred and royal jewelry for those seeking a harmonious life.
