Amethyst is a purple gemstone that exudes a sense of tranquility. It is a mysterious stone that can appear a deep purple or a faintly bluish lavender color depending on the light and the angle you look at it from. You may find yourself losing track of time as you gaze upon its beauty.
This stone has long been associated with images of "healing" and "calmness." In Greek mythology, there is a story about a drunken god who turned a girl named Amethyst into a stone, and people in the past wore this stone as a talisman to prevent drunkenness. Even today, it is sometimes used as a talisman in business situations as a "stone that gives calm judgment."
However, the appeal of amethyst is not limited to its meaning.
Not only is it beautiful to look at, but when you pick it up, the cool feel of it calms your mind. It's as if it gently transports you to a quiet space in the middle of your busy daily life.
Natural stones have small crystal-like patterns inside and subtle color gradations, and no two are exactly alike, which is one of their charms. When you think, "This is a color that only this one has," you naturally start to feel attached to it.
Amethyst is beautiful not only as jewelry, but also as a rough stone, and many people use it as interior decoration. When exposed to sunlight, it slowly changes color, showing various expressions throughout the day.
When you are feeling unsettled, if you happen to look at an amethyst, your feelings will somehow calm down... Such is the quiet yet powerful gemstone that is amethyst.
