Amethyst is a purple variety of quartz.  The name comes from the Greek amethystos which means “not intoxicating”. It was once as valuable as rubies, emeralds, and sapphires.

Ancient Greeks used drinking cups made of amethyst in the belief that it would keep them from getting intoxicated. Hebrews believed that if an amethyst stone was in your dream you’d be protected from harm the following day.

It is believed to exude the energy of peace, hope, and accomplishment. Hold it to embark on a dreamy soul journey through the clouds and into the heavens. Use to meditate to achieve your dreams and desires, place in any room for positive Feng Shui all day and sweet dreams all night. As you look at its exterior it helps you relax and reach a spiritual Zen.
