Amethyst

Leonardo da Vinci once wrote that the amethyst has the power to protect against evil thoughts and to sharpen the intelligence. Buddhists believe that the amethyst enhances the peace and tranquility of meditation. It is believed that the amethyst brings a state of inner peace to whoever wears it. 

We find the legend of the origin of amethyst in a Greek myth: Dionysus was in anger one day and swore revenge to the next mortal that crossed his path, creating fierce tigers to carry out his wish. Along came unsuspecting Amethyst, a beautiful young maiden on her way to pay tribute to the goddess Diana. The terrified girl asked to be spared the pain of the tigers' claws, so Diana turned her into a statue of pure cristalline quartz. At the sight, Dionysus wept tears of wine in remorse. The  god's tears stained the quartz purple, creating the beautiful gem now wearing Amethyst's name.
