Amethyst - February Birthstone lore and
history
- The amethyst has over an 8,000 year
history of usage in China.
- Amethyst is a purple quartz crystal and
is steeped in ancient lore, mysticism and old magic. The stone's
availability and magical qualities made it the stone of
preference for commoners and kings four thousand years ago and
it traveled all over the globe as a form of trade exchange. It
is still one of the most popular stones in the world and used in
many different countries for common and uncommon purposes.
- Legend has it that the amethyst
originated from Bacchus, the god of wine. Bacchus became angry
at the mortals and vowed that the next mortal to cross his path
would be eaten by tigers. Amethyst, a beautiful young maiden,
was on her way to worship the goddess, Diana. Diana turned her
into colorless quartz to keep her from being eaten. Bacchus
observed the miracle and repented his hasty decision, and poured
wine over the young maiden, leaving her feet and legs colorless.
This is the reason that amethyst crystals are usually uneven in
color and have a colorless base at the bottom. They say the
goddess of love and the god of wine, when entwined, will have
light and dark evolvements.
