The Greeks believed it to be particularly effective against drunkenness – hence the name amethistos, which means not to be drunk. Wealthier Greeks, and later the Romans, would make wine goblets out of amethyst to guard against the excessive effects of wine. Legend tells that Amethysta, a beautiful maiden, attracted the unwelcome attention of Bacchus, the god of wine. Diana, the virgin goddess of the hunt, saved Amethysta by turning her into the gleaming gem, saying henceforward all would behave in a restrained manner in her presence.Amethyst is also the stone of integrity and was worn by Egyptian soldiers in battle so that they would not lose their courage in dangerous situations. In the Christian Church, amethyst was the gem of purity and is associated with bishops, who traditionally wear an amethyst ring, especially in the Roman Catholic Church.Amethyst is the stone of the Buddha and is popular for Buddhist prayers beads. In Northern Africa it is a rain-making stone, and is dropped into water by medicine men and women.
