 | "Nice single Amethyst crystal, with no visable damage. This nice sized point displays well. The name "amethyst" comes from the Greek and means "not drunken." This was maybe due to a belief that amethyst would ward off the effects of alcohol, but most likely the Greeks were referring to the almost wine-like color of some stones that they may have encountered. Its color is unparalleled, and even other, more expensive purple gemstones are often compared to its color and beauty. Although it must always be purple to be amethyst, it can and does have a wide range of purple shades. In Greek mythology, the amethyst was created when the character Bacchus poured wine over a maiden who had been turned to stone. Apparently, instead of releasing her, it turned her into amethyst! Metaphysical: Amethyst has long been thought of as a "stone of spirituality and contentment," helping to clear the aura and balance the energies of the physical, mental and emotional bodies. It brings peace, stability and strength to the wearer. It opens and activates the crown chakra and facilitates one in achieving and maintaining a calm and peaceful state.
Throughout history Amethyst has been used to guard against inebriation and is thought to be helpful in overcoming addiction. It has been used for hearing disorders, insomnia, headaches and other pain, and to stimulate the sympathetic nervous system. It can be used in treating disorders of the heart, stomach and digestive tract, nervous system, skin and teeth. It is also thought to help stabilize mental disorders."
