Coveted by the regal and ecclesiastical class, amethyst enjoyed its righteous place in Catholic adornment and churches of Middle Age. Reputed as a symbolization of piety, Amethyst is considered to promote celibacy thus warding the wearer from lurking seduction. In Tibet an amethyst is associated with Buddha and this credence must have induced its featuring on their rosaries. Originating from a Greek word ‘amethystos” meaning “not drunken”, amethyst is trusted as a symbol of sobriety and regarded as a strong antidote against drunkenness.
There are few tips you need to keep in mind while handling your amethyst jewellery. Keep amethyst away from strong heat for this may change its color; Amethyst may fade in light. Soaking Amethyst in alcohol such as vodka overnight releases stubborn dirt, this can then be rinsed and brushed away. Use a soft brush and no abrasives; they will not affect Amethyst but will impinge the softer silver, gold or platinum settings.
Leonardo Da Vinci wrote that an Amethyst gemstone was able to dispel malevolent thoughts and sharpen the intelligence. Amethyst is the Birthstone for February and the Zodiac stone for the constellation of Pisces. The legend of its origin sources from Greek mythology. Dionysius, the God of intoxication, was infuriated on being affronted by a mortal and swearing vengeance created ferocious tigers to destroy the next mortal that crossed his path. Along came unwary Amethyst, a fine-looking young maiden en route to worship the goddess Diana. Diana turned Amethyst into a stature of pure crystalline quartz to shield her from the brutal claws. At the sight of the beautiful statue Dionysus wept tears of wine in repentance for his act. His tears tainted the quartz purple, creating the mesmerizing gem- amethyst.
