Amethysts are a violet variety of the quartz sub-section of gemstones. The name amethyst is derived from the Greek words ''amethystos'' and ''methysko'' which loosely translate to ''not intoxicated''. It was a long-held belief that the wearing of amethysts could prevent the wearer from becoming drunk. Drinking vessels were even accented with amethysts in order to further promote the supposed sobriety of the drinker.
It is believed by some that amethysts hold fire and passion within them, allowing the wearer to channel their creativity and spirituality whilst also maintaining the aforementioned sobriety. Amethysts are also stress relievers - according to some - soothing physical pain with their presence.
