Amethyst is thought to stimulate right-brain activity and psychic intuition. It also has healing properties, removing impurities from the bloodstream, strengthening immunity and relieving headaches. The ancient Greeks hotsell believed that amethyst prevented drunkenness. The name amethyst comes from the Greek word amethystos, meaning "not drunken", or "sober". Drinking wine from an amethyst recepticle was thought to allow you to drink alcohol without fear of intoxication. I could have used an amethyst glass on my last birthday!
☆
In Greek folklore, the god of wine, Bacchus, was angry at mortal human beings and decided to send his tigers to attack the next mortal to pass by. A young woman named Amethyst crossed his path, but before Bacchus's Tigers could attack, Goddess Diana intervened, turning Amethyst into a mound of purple quartz in order to protect her. Bacchus later felt ashamed of his aggression, and cried tears of wine over Amethyst, turning her quartz body into the purple stone it is today.
