Fun fact: The name Amethyst itself is derived from the Greek word ‘Amethystos,’ which means ‘not intoxicated.’ That takes us back to this fascinating tale of Amethystos, a beautiful young girl who faced the wrath of a drunken Dionysus, the Greek God of wine. Left with no resort, she asked Goddess Diana for help who turned her into a white rock. Dinonysus, after getting back to his senses, spilled red wine all over the rock in remorse. That gave birth to the purple quartz, Amethyst, that we all adore.
