It facilitates meditation and strengthens intuition. The word amethyst is derived from the Greek word amethystos which means "sober, not drunk." The Greeks believed that amethyst, because of its color, was associated with Dionysus (Bacchus to the Romans), the god of wine. According to mythology, Dionysus had a crush on a nymph named Amethystos, but she wanted to remain chaste. She begged Artemis, goddess of the hunt and chastity, to help her. The goddess listened to her pleas by transforming her into white rock and thus freeing her from the assaults of Dionysus. The latter, humiliated, then poured wine on the stone and changed the crystal to purple. Handmade with love Made in France Responsible jewelry
