Reputed to control evil thoughts, increase intelligence and render any person shrewd in business matters. Amethyst is popular in rosaries and prayer beads due to the stone’s atmosphere of pious calm, imbuing a sense of mental peace and quiet. Amethyst has long been known as the “spirituality stone” for its’ strength in assisting spiritual opening and growth.

Amethyst derives from an Ancient Greek word meaning “not intoxicated”. For this reason it has been long used as a “sobriety stone” to aid anyone in overcoming addiction.

Travelers wear Amethyst as a protection from treachery and surprise attacks, it keeps soldiers from harm and gives them victory over their enemies.
