Amethyst has been known as the most highly prized form of quartz.
It is the presence of manganese in quartz that produces the purple
color, and iron content varies the coloration. Amethyst may be found
throughout the world; our specimens are from Brazil and Uruguay.
Amethyst, Mythological Maiden - Bacchus, the god of wine, declared
in a rage that the first person he passes will be eaten by tigers.
This turns out to be a beautiful maiden named Amethyst. The goddess
Diana quickly turned Amethyst into a white stone to save her from
the tigers. Regretting his anger, Bacchus poured red wine over the
stone as an offering to Diana, so turning the stone purple. Amethyst
has long been associated with relieving hangovers, or curing drunkenness,
probably as a result of its wine-like color and the Bacchus tale.
