This variety of quartz ranges in color from deep purple to pale lavender depending on the presence of manganese and iron. According to the ancient Greeks, the nymph Amethystos was the source of this gemstone. She turned down the advances of the god of wine and intoxication, Dionysus. She prayed for protection and to keep her chastity as he chased after her. In response to her plea for assistance, the virgin goddess Artemis changed the nymph into a white or clear stone. In the epilogue, Dionysus either accidentally or purposefully dyes the stone purple by pouring his wine over it. The amethyst swiftly acquired a reputation for riches and power since purple dye was the royal preference in the ancient Mediterranean. Being regarded as having a worth comparable to ruby, emerald, and sapphire, it was customarily used to embellish the robes and crowns of wealthy and strong monarchs. Church leaders in the Church of Scotland, the Anglican/Episcopal hierarchies, and the Roman Catholic church continue to wear amethyst in the corridors of power. The Kent Demi-Parure, the Royal Scepter with the Cross, and various brooches worn by Queen Elizabeth II and other female family members are among the amethyst-containing items in the British Crown Jewels. There are other royal families with collections of tiaras and gowns with amethyst stones. The gemstone for February is amethyst.
