What is Amethyst?
Amethyst is a purple-colored crystal and belongs to the quartz crystal family. It comes in a variety of shades in purple and violet. It aids in spiritual awakening as well as spiritual healing. It is a popular crystal. It has been used since 25,000 B.C. by Greeks, Romans, and even Egyptians for its many benefits. Amethyst is associated with the third-eye chakra and the crown chakra. It has also been used synonymously with spirituality. Amethyst is found across the globe, from Siberia to Brazil. The term ‘amethyst’ is derived from the Greek word ‘amethystos’ meaning “not intoxicated”. It was used in Greece to prevent falling while drunk, quite literal to its meaning. 

Healing properties of Amethyst
As mentioned above, Amethyst has been synonymously used with the term ‘spirituality’. It is closely associated with two chakras - the third-eye chakra and the crown chakra. Thus, it acts as a bridge between the physical and the metaphysical realms. It also acts as a bridge between the human mind and ‘God Consciousness’.  

Even for the Greeks, when they wore Amethyst as a tool to help them not fall while drunk, Amethyst was metaphorically represented as a tool to help them not make clumsy decisions. It was a tool for mental clarity and contemplation.

The Greek Story of Amethyst
Greek mythology contains a story about Amethyst gaining the glassy purple rue it’s known for. It is believed that Bacchus (the God of intoxication) was enamored by a girl called Amethyste who did not reciprocate his affection. Scared of facing the wrath of Baccus, she prayed to heaven for help. Goddess Diana answered her by turning her into a white stone, symbolic of her desire to remain chaste. When Baccus found out about this, he cried tears at his foolishness and those tears gave the purple rue to the white stone Amethyste turned into. This is how Amethyst Stone gained the glassy purple rue it is known for.
