A Brief History of Amethyst

Amethyst has long been celebrated for its captivating purple tones, tracing its origins back to ancient civilisations. It was highly prized by the Greeks and Romans, who believed it warded off intoxication and embodied tranquillity. Throughout history, amethyst has adorned royal crowns and sacred jewellery, symbolising power and spiritual wisdom.

Folklore, Myths and Tales

Legends say amethyst was created from the tears of Dionysus, the Greek god of wine, giving it protective powers against drunkenness. It is also associated with clarity of mind and calm, believed by medieval European clergy to strengthen their connection to the divine during prayer. Amethyst’s mystical allure continues to inspire stories of peace, balance, and inner strength.

Healing Properties of Amethyst

Renowned for its calming influence, amethyst is often used in crystal healing to ease stress and anxiety. Its soothing vibrations help to balance emotional highs and lows while promoting restful sleep. Many also use amethyst beads to enhance creativity and spiritual awareness, making them an ideal companion for meditation and self-reflection.
