Amethyst is the most highly valued stone in the quartz group. It is said to have many supernatural powers: it brings luck, ensures constancy, protects against magic and home-sickness. The name (Greek) probly means "not drunken" as amethyst was worn as an amulet against drunkenness. Crystals are always grown onto a base. Pyramids are not well developed, therefore are often found as "crystal points" with the deepest color. These crystals are broken off the base.  REF:gemstones of the world by: Walter Schumann
