Amethyst often comes in shades of violet and purple. It has long been a symbol of peace, serenity, trust and grace. It is known as the all-purpose stone.
There is a great Greek myth of how Amethyst came to be. The story goes that Amethyst earned it's colour from the blood-red wine tears of Dionysus.
It is told that Amethyst was actually a young virgin who found herself on the receiving end of the Greek God Dionysus' wrath when he was drunk. The young girl cried out to the Goddess Diana for help and the Goddess turned her into a shimmering pale stone.
When Dionysus realized his mistake, he wept as his wine goblet overturned, the pale white stone soaked up the wine until it glowed a gentle purple hue.
