Historical Folklore

Crushed amethyst was used by the Ancient Greeks and Romans as a way to ward off intoxication. One story is told that partly this was due to the fact that the Romans sometimes put a piece of this stone in their wine. Then the wine could be watered down and still retain its purple color from the crushed stones within. That meant less alcohol, and thus, less intoxication. Both the Greeks and Romans made drinking cups of amethyst and wore talismans made of this stone to prevent intoxication.

There is a Greek legend of how amethyst got its purple color. Once Dionysus was so annoyed by Artemis that he set his sacred tigers upon a maiden attending her shrine. To preserve the maiden, whose name was Amethyst, Artemis petrified her in sparkling quartz. Lamenting this virgin’s demise, Dionysus poured the contents of his cup over the statue, which immediately became infused with the purple of the grape.

Chakra Association

Amethyst works well with all of the chakras but has long been associated with the crown chakra. 

Astrological Association 

For those born with their sun in Aries, amethyst can soothe and reduce the pain of headaches. If your sun is in Aquarius, amethyst helps you to work with your vision for your future. Aquarians can also use points, pointing outward, to draw off negative energy from their body. Pisceans benefit from this stone because it helps connect your everyday reality, imagination, and your spirituality. It also helps Pisces to stay grounded in reality and not use escapism as a coping tool. 

If your rising sign is in Aries, it provides protection so you do not absorb other people’s emotional energy. For those who have their moon in Virgo, use this stone to help you set realistic goals. If your moon is in Libra, amethyst helps you with decision making and putting them into motion.
