The Greeks named it amethystos — “not drunken” — and carved wine cups from it, believing it kept the mind clear no matter what the evening held. Centuries of royalty and monks agreed on one thing about this purple quartz: it belongs wherever you want a calm, clear head.
Amethyst is traditionally associated with peace, intuition, and restful sleep — it’s the stone I suggest for nightstands, meditation corners, and anyone whose thoughts get loud after dark. It matters enough here to have its own Spell Scroll, and February claims it as a birthstone.
