 | "Amethyst flowers are very rare and magical indeed. We are told they grow in Basalt and that it takes a full day to gently pick away the matrix off of the flower with a nail. To find ones that are perfect is a very rare occurrence because of the difficulty in removing them. The name means "not drunken", as amethyst was worn as an amulet against drunkenness. Amethyst has been called the "Addicts Stone" at times because of its metaphysical property of easing problems with unwanted habits and releasing addictions. Amethyst enhances mental and emotional stability. It relieves depression and can help conquer unwanted habits and addictions, particularly alcoholism. It is a stone of peace and balance. It also enhances intuition and psychic abilities, and thus is used in many magical workings. It relieves stress and diseases associated with overindulgence such as gout."
