Literally, amethyst means “not drunk”: its name comes from the Greek methystos, “intoxication”, preceded by a privative “a”. Probably because of its wine-like color, in Antiquity it was credited with the power to protect against drunkenness: the Greeks drank from amethyst cups to shield themselves from the effects of wine.
Legend has it that Dionysus, god of the vine and of excess, one day in a fit of anger wanted to attack the first human he met. Fate chose the young Amethyst, on whom he set tigers. Artemis saved her just in time by turning her into a statue of pure quartz. Full of remorse, Dionysus dropped his cup of wine, which splashed the statue and dyed it purple.

A stone of humility, temperance, nobility of heart and moral purity, amethyst also stands for ecclesiastical authority. Saint Valentine is said to have worn an amethyst around his neck, as did the knights who left for the Crusades with this stone on their rosary.
In the Middle Ages, it adorned papal rings and the crowns of Christian kings, who had to keep a clear mind and guard against intoxication, whether of wine or of power. A symbol of purity, tenderness and mutual respect, it is traditionally given for the 48th wedding anniversary.
Did you know? When strongly heated, amethyst turns yellow, and some sellers take advantage of this to pass it off as citrine. If you want to buy a citrine, beware!
