Statement Ring with Amethyst Stone

Amethyst is a variety of Quartz whose color can range from light lilac to deep purple. The name “amethyst” comes from the Greek word amethystos, meaning “not intoxicated.” In ancient times it was believed to protect against drunkenness.

Amethyst is considered a stone that absorbs and transmutes negative energy, transforming it into positive and calm energy; protects against anxiety, stress and obsessive thoughts, helping to clear the mind; and helps to restore emotional balance, especially in times of upheaval or change. In this sense, it is often recommended for those who need to “keep away” toxic energies. It is often placed near the bed or worn at heart or forehead level to protect dreams, improve mental clarity and “keep away dark thoughts.”
