About Amethyst Meaning: Sincerity, peace of mind, intuition, February birthstone Its Japanese name, "Shisuisho," translates to purple crystal. It is one of the oldest gemstones. It has romantic alternative names such as "guardian stone of love" and "stone that protects love." In Japan, purple has been used since ancient times as a color symbolizing the highest class and dignity in rituals and decorations. In Greek mythology, Amethyst was the name of a beautiful maiden, an attendant of the moon goddess, and was said to be her incarnation. In Christianity, it is still used in rituals today as a ring for high-ranking clergy. The etymology means "not to get drunk," suggesting the meaning of maintaining reason and nobility at all times. [Bonus Column: Amethyst, the Color Purple, and Humanity] Amethyst, mineralogically, belongs to the quartz group, which does not have the highest hardness. So why has it been cherished as a color and treasure of the highest rank in ancient civilizations around the world for thousands of years? Purple is the ultimate color among all colors. In both Japan and Europe, royalty, nobles, and high-ranking clergy wore purple, and it was strictly forbidden for people of other social statuses to use it. It was the symbolic color of Roman emperors, and Byzantine empresses gave birth in the Purple Chamber. In the Maya and Aztec civilizations, it was used in religious ceremonies, and in China, it was the color of the nobility. Why? One reason is that stable purple dyes were produced from a highly luxurious dye obtained from the secretion called "purpura" from the hypobranchial gland of the Murex snail, which could only be obtained in very small quantities. It took 250,000 shells to obtain just 30g of dye. The ancient Phoenicians, who lived in what is now Lebanon, were from the region where these shells were found, and their city was named "Phoenicia," meaning "land of purple."
