This gem of deep purple hues traces back to Ancient Greek lore of the God Dionysus. According to legend, a nymph named Amethystos was threatened by this god of wine and intoxication and was transformed into a clear stone. Dionysus, realizing the error of his way, poured wine onto the stone, making Amethyst the color we see today. As such, the sobering effects of this stone are believed to encourage sleep and rest, clear the mind, and boost the immune system. This helps to improve intelligence, mental acuity, and decision-making, as well as promote serenity and a calmer disposition.
