The rich purple quartz gem known as amethyst derives it name from the Greek word améthystos, which means not drunken. The Greeks believed that amethyst would prevent its owner from becoming drunk when imbibing spirits. It's also thought to be useful in boosting self-esteem and increasing happiness, health, and relaxation. Purple has long been associated with royalty, and has adorned the crowns and vestments of regents for centuries. Amethyst is found throughout the world, but Russia, Brazil, and Zambia are the primary sources for this violet stunner.
