History: With a long and abundant history dating back to the oldest written records in Ancient Egypt (Misr) this stone has been important throughout many cultures. Deriving from the Greecian word Amethustos meaning sober it was believed to prevent intoxication and be created whenever Dionysus wept, in Medieval Europe soldiers wore Amethyst as an amulet of protection. This mysterious stone was even found in mythological texts where the great Cupid is said to sport an Amethyst ring. Rediscovered in the 1600s by a Spanish Colonizer as a gift of marriage for marrying an Ayoreo princess named Anahí (Indigenous peoples of Bolivia and Paraguay) this stone has deep and ancestral ties to the Earth and up until the 18th century it was considered a cardinal gemstone of royalty until the discovery of large deposits in Brazil.
