Amethyst is very popular among gemstones.

It has a wide range of purple shades from pale lilac to deep purple.

The name “amethyst” in Greek means “not drunken” due to the belief that amethyst can ward off the effect of alcohol and instill a sober and serious mind.

The color purple is traditionally the color of royalty and amethyst has been used since the dawn of history to adorn the rich and powerful monarchs and rulers.

Amethyst was very important in the ornamentation of churches in the Middle Ages due to the belief that it encourages celibacy. Bishops still often wear amethyst rings. Amethyst is also associated with a number of superstitions, being regarded as a love charm, and as a protection against thieves.

Amethyst is given as a symbol of sincerity, security, and peace of mind.

It is good for those who want to have peace of mind or prepare for examination.
