Its Japanese name, "Shosui," translates to purple crystal. It is one of the oldest known gemstones. It is romantically known as the 'Guardian Stone of Love' and the 'Stone that Protects Love.' In Japan, the color purple has been associated with the highest class and dignity since ancient times, used in rituals and adornments. In Greek mythology, amethyst was the name of a handmaiden to the moon goddess, described as the embodiment of a beautiful maiden. In Christianity, it is still used in sacred rings for high-ranking clergy. The etymology suggests it means 'not to get drunk,' implying the ability to maintain reason and nobility in any situation. 【Bonus Column: Amethyst, the Color Purple, and Humanity】 Amethyst, while belonging to the quartz group, is not among the hardest minerals. So why has it been revered as a color of the highest rank and treasured by ancient civilizations across the globe for millennia? Purple is the ultimate color among all hues. In both Japan and Europe, royalty, nobility, and high-ranking clergy wore purple, and its use was strictly forbidden for those of lower status. It was the symbolic color of Roman emperors, and Byzantine queens gave birth in rooms decorated in purple. It was used in religious ceremonies in Maya and Aztec civilizations and as the color of nobility in China. Why? One reason is that stable purple dyes were derived from a secretion called "purpura" obtained from the hypobranchial gland of the Murex sea snail. This was an extremely rare and luxurious dye, requiring approximately 250,000 shells to produce just 30 grams of dye. The ancient Phoenicians, in what is now Lebanon, were from the region where these shells were found, leading to a city name meaning "Land of Purple."
