The name "amethyst" comes from the Greek word "amethystos," which means "not drunken." This is because the ancient Greeks believed that amethyst could protect its wearer from intoxication. Amethyst was also believed to have other magical properties, such as the ability to ward off evil spirits and promote good dreams.

Amethyst is found in many parts of the world, including Brazil, Uruguay, South Africa, and the United States.
