Description
Q: What was Amethyst used for in ancient times?
A: To Egyptians and ancient Greeks, amethysts were as precious as diamonds, rubies, and sapphires. The stone was thought to cool tempers and prevent drunkenness, so it was cut into jewellery for wise kings and crafted into wine goblets for those who hoped to stay sober.
