Amethyst

The name is derived from the ancient Greek ‘ἀ’ which means “intoxicated.” It was named for the belief that this stone had the power to protect its bearer from drunkenness. Amethyst’s purple color can range from a light lilac to a deep, intense royal purple, and from brownish to vivid.

 It helps expand the higher mind and broadens the imagination, bringing in new ideas and possibly the development of psychic ability. 

The Stone is most prevalent as small stubby pyramidal crystals.
