Amethyst is a violet variety of quartz often used in jewelry. The name comes from the Ancient Greek ἀ a- ("not") and μέθυστοςmethustos ("intoxicated"), a reference to the belief that the stone protected its owner from drunkenness.There we go, ladies and gents! Good thing I bought my birthstone ring in Thailand--that's probably why I had supernatural abilities to refuse all of the alcoholic drinks the other volunteers were constantly drinking.
