The amethyst gets its name from a Greek term for “without drunkenness”. They believed that this stone could guard you against inebriation. Today, the so-called “sobriety stone” continues to be a source of calm and mental clarity for many.
Amethyst has been used for many things, including curing insomnia, warding off feelings of guilt and fear, facilitating positive dreams, and aiding in meditation or the discovery of psychic powers. Some people wear it to bring about good fortune, though it is not the most well-known of the prosperity gems.
When you meditate upon an amethyst, focus upon its coloration. A rich, regal purple is one of nature’s rarest hues, and its sight evokes a sense of something that transcends that which is normal. Simultaneously, its deep, cool appearance is evocative of a stable and collected state of mind. Allow the stone to serve as a reminder to rise above the mundane and find peace within yourself.
