Amethyst has been highly esteemed for its stunning beauty and legendary powers to stimulate, and soothe, the mind and emotions. It is a semi-precious stone in todayâ€s classifications, but to the ancients, it was a “Gem of Fire"; a Precious Stone worth, at times in history, as much as a Diamond. Amethyst clusters have points that radiate energy outward in many directions, creating an energetic force that is powerful to its surroundings.
