GemLORE

• In Greece archeological evidence of polished amethyst set in gold rings has been found dating back to the Minoan period (around 2500 BCE).

• In Greek and Roman mythology the god of wine and revelry Dionysus murdered a maiden named Amethyst while in a drunken rage with a pair of ferocious wild tigers. With her dying breath the girl prayed to Artemis, the goddess of wild beasts, who transformed her into a white quartz statue. When Dionysus realized what he had done, he wept into his wine goblet and collapsed spilling the goblet's contents on the statue. Amethyst's crystal figure became stained with tears and wine. From this mythological tale the gem amethyst has becomes a symbol of sobriety. Ancient wine chalices were sometimes carved from amethyst in an attempt to stop heavy drinking
