Amethyst the violet variety of quartz whose name has been derived from an Ancient Greek word a- (not) and methustos (intoxicated) is as interesting a gemstone as its history. Dionysus the Greek god of intoxication was pursuing a maiden by the name of Amethystos. But it so happened that that maiden turned down his affections. To ensure this she prayed to the gods to help her remain pure. Her wish was granted and she turned into a white stone. Dionysus was so deeply humbled by Amethystos s desire to remain chaste that as an offering he poured wine over the stone and the white stone s crystals turned purple. This is how amethyst is believed to have born.
