Here’s a tale from Greek mythology that may have slipped past you. Dionysus, god of wine and inebriation, decided one day to pursue the affections of a maiden named Amethystos. Not interested in the drunken deity, Amethystos pulled a clever trick.
She prayed to Artemis to help her stay pure and was promptly transformed into a white stone. A humbled Dionysus splashed some wine over the stone as an offering and the purple amethyst stone was born. However, science tells us that the amethyst stone is actually irradiated quartz. Whether you choose to believe the myth or the reality, it is still one of the most elegant stones you can find.
Amethyst is one of the best stones for healing and the release of negative energy. It helps boost the immune system and can even aid those suffering from addictions. Place one on your bedside table at home for peaceful nights and uncluttered dreams. Or keep a stone or two on your office desk; it will absorb the stress in the room and create a much more relaxed working environment.
