Amethyst is a mystical gemstone that dates back to the times of Ancient Greece. The gemstone’s origin can be seen in Greek mythology. It involves the story of the god of intoxication of wine, Dionysus. He was very angry at a mortal. For this reason, he swore revenge on mortals who do not celebrate by getting drunk. It was then that a young woman named Amethyst was captured by Dionysus, who still in a fit of rage, while she was trying to pay tribute to the goddess of hunt, Diana. She was a very innocent girl, and knew nothing about drink and intoxication. Dionysus brought with him two tigers, so he could enjoy the show: he wanted to drink wine while the tigers ate Amethyst. Amethyst called for help from the goddess Diana. She then turned her into a quartz statue, to protect the girl. When Dionysus saw what happen, he wept. His tears were made of red wine, which stained the quartz statue purple. This is the history of the gemstone amethyst. This is why it is believed that those who wear amethyst do not get intoxicated or drunk.
