Amethyst
Amethyst comes from the Greek word “amethustos”
which means “not drunk”. Because of this it has been considered
a charm against intoxication – especially if the drinker used
an amethyst cup. Amethyst was also considered an aid to the
brave; it would protect soldier’s aid and bring them victory,
and help hunters capture wild beasts.
