 Colour
ranges from shades of purple to red-violet tones and can also
be found in a milky colour to green. Amethyst is sometimes heated
and sold as commercial citrine, because it changes colour when
heated. Found in Argentine, Brazil, Namibia, US and Canada. Amethyst
is macrocrystalline quartz and is found in geodes - like agate,
it is one of the worlds best selling gemstones.
Amethyst gets its name from a myth - the Greeks thought wearing
amethyst protected them from being drunk. Its name is derived
from the greek work amethystos when translated means 'not drunken'.
There is legend surrounding amethyst - about the God Bacchus
and the maiden Amethysit. This tale is why the Greeks believed
it to be a cure for drunkenness, and why it would be a good stone
for alcoholics. However, it would be a good gemstone for addictions
- but because of its calming qualities not the legend etc.
To this day amethyst is still worn by Bishops - it is known
as the bishops stone. it was thought that amethyst was the perfect
gemstone to symbolise the age of aquarius.
