Historical Lore
Amethyst is a variety of quartz that has been used since antiquity, with significant historical use in ancient Greece, Rome, and Egypt. It was commonly carved into beads, seals, and jewellery, and was widely traded across the Mediterranean. The name “amethyst” comes from the Greek word amethystos, meaning “not intoxicated,” reflecting an ancient belief that the stone could prevent intoxication. Banded varieties form naturally where quartz and amethyst layers develop together over time and are primarily valued in modern lapidary work for their distinctive layered appearance.
