Description
Crystalline quartz in shades of purple, lilac or mauve is called amethyst, a stone traditionally worn to guard against drunkeness and to instill a sober mind. The word amethyst comes from the Greek meaning "without drunkenness" and amethyst is believed to protect one from poison.
Amethyst is used for problems in the blood and in breathing problems.
Ancient Egyptians used the amethyst guard against guilty and fearful feelings.
It is also used as a meditation aid when worn as a necklace.
