Amethyst, traditionally celebrated for its rich purple color, can also be found in a delicate sea-foam green and lavendar. Amethyst was known to be the stone of ancient Egyptian royalty, and was also cherished by the Greeks for its beneficial powers. Amusingly, Greeks believed amethyst to prevent drunkenness, and the beautiful gemstone, whose name literally means "without drunkenness" in Greek, has origins that begin with Dionysus and Dianna.
Modern believers use amethyst to subdue the crown chakra, which is related to spiritual awareness and self-knowledge. Amethyst is also used to keep a person grounded, remove chaos, and some say that this stone helps with mental clarity, instills love, high ideals and urges one to do right. It can also be helpful in curing impatience, and removing feelings of victimization. Physically it is believed to be beneficial for the circulatory and nervous system, and relaxation.
Amethyst is believed to aid the sleeping patterns of insomniacs, and that one should keep an amethyst stone under one's pillow to sleep peacefully.
Amethyst is a powerful healing stone, and powerful when worn as jewelry, especially with silver.
