The name Amethyst derives from the Greek word ametusthos, meaning not intoxicated, Purple Amethyst has been highly esteemed throughout the ages for its stunning beauty and legendary powers to stimulate, and soothe, the mind and emotions. It is a semi-precious stone in todays classifications, but to the ancients it was a Gem of Fire, a Precious Stone worth, at times in history, as much as a Diamond. Amethyst is used to produce faceted stones, cabochons, beads, tumbled stones, and many other items for jewelry and ornamental use.
