Little Known Properties of Amethyst



I love the color purple. Always have. Consequently, I am really drawn to the beautiful violet hue of amethyst. While doing some investigation online, I was surprised to discover the ancient Greeks believed that this quartz stone protected them from drunkenness. In fact,they often wore amethyst and drank from amethyst vessels believing that it would prevent them from becoming intoxicated. Hmmm. Also, the word amethyst comes from Ancient Greece meaning "Not" and "Intoxicated".

So, the moral of the story, as we approach the Holiday season, is that it may be worthwhile checking out the amethyst jewelry from Charming Life Designs. Maybe, if we believe as the Ancient Greeks did, wearing a pair of amethyst earrings, necklace or bracelet may prevent that dreaded hangover after one too many Holiday libations. Who know? The Greeks may be on to something.
