Amethyst's nomenclature is derived from "amethystos" translating to "non-intoxicated", rooted in the belief held by ancient Greeks that wearing Amethyst could protect against drunkenness. Watch for Amethyst goblets in museums. Today Amethyst is widely used for meditation for it's ability to promote relaxation, balance and spiritual growth.
