Amethyst Lore:
Amethyst is a variety of quartz that ranges in color from the lightest lilac to a deep violet. It’s been considered a protective, healing stone from the earliest times. In fact, even its name refers to one of its ancient protective functions: a (anti-) + methustos (intoxicated). Wine taken from an amethyst cup, it was said, would never make you drunk! A possible mechanism for this: the host may have disguised the fact that they’d watered down the wine by pouring it into a deep purple cup.
Amethyst has kept its association with virtue through time, protecting one’s better nature against temptation. In fact, the highest grade of amethyst is still known as “bishop’s grade” and an alternative name for Amethyst is “Bishop’s Stone.”
More About Amethyst:
Amethyst makes a good meditation stone. It’s common stone, useful for its calming protective energy. I think of it as pairing well with lavender as both amethyst and lavender calm the body and mind, nurturing you into other states of consciousness.
