If you love the color purple (not the movie starring Oprah Winfrey) then you have to have an amethyst either as an accessory, a healing crystal or somewhere in your home. 

Amethyst is one of the most popular crystals today and it comes in many shades of purple, from pale lilac to deep purple with red highlights. Because of its color and its luxurious quality, it is associated with nobility and regal bearing. 

The word amethyst is from the Greek phrase “a-metusthos” meaning “not intoxicated”. Legend has it that the wine god Bacchus became angry over an insult and wanted to avenge himself. So he decided that the first person he should meet would be devoured by tigers. Unfortunately, it was a beautiful maiden named Amethyst who was on her way to worship at the shrine of Diana. As the ferocious tigers attacked, she asked the protection of the goddess and was saved by being turned into a clear white crystal. Bacchus immediately regretted his cruelty poured the nectar of his grapes over the crystal as an offering, giving the gem its lovely purple color. 

Amethyst, by virtue of its name, is said to prevent drunkenness and has a sobering effect, but there are so many other benefits this stunning crystal can provide.
