Amethyst has a long history dating back to ancient times, where it was valued for its beauty and believed to possess protective and calming powers. Its name originates from the Greek “amethystos,” meaning “not drunken.” Ancient Greeks and Romans associated it with Dionysus, the god of wine. They believed it could prevent intoxication and help the wearer stay clear-headed. During the Middle Ages, it became a symbol of royalty and was used in religious regalia. Bishops wore it to symbolize their dedication to the church. The stone’s value, comparable to diamonds, decreased after the discovery of large deposits in Brazil in the 19th century. <\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n
