Its Japanese name is "Shuinsui" (purple quartz). It is one of the oldest gemstones. It has romantic nicknames such as "Guardian Stone of Love" and "Stone that Protects Love." In Japan, purple has been used in rituals and decorations as a color of the highest class since ancient times. In Greek mythology, Amethyst was the name of a handmaiden to the moon goddess and was described as the embodiment of a beautiful maiden. In Christianity, it is still used in rituals today as the stone for high priests' rings. The etymology comes from "not getting drunk." It is said to signify not losing reason or nobility at any time. [Bonus Column: Amethyst, the Color Purple, and Humanity] Amethyst belongs to the quartz group, which does not have the highest hardness among minerals. So why has it been ranked as the highest class color and treasured by 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 priests wore purple, and its use by people of other statuses was strictly forbidden. It was the symbolic color of Roman emperors, and Byzantine queens gave birth in the purple chamber. It was used in religious ceremonies in Mayan 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, a very rare and luxurious dye. 250,000 shells were needed to obtain just 30g of dye. The ancient Phoenicians, in what is now Lebanon, were from this shell-producing region, and their city-name became "Phoenicia," meaning "land of purple." In spectral optics, the wavelength of purple is the lowest among all colors, while its energy and frequency are the highest, representing the extreme end of visible light. Purple is the most mysterious color, both for those who work with colors and for others. In architecture and interior design, it is used in areas such as guest rooms, entrances, linen rooms, and water areas, as it "gives an elegant, noble, and clean impression, and brings inspiration, purification, and meditation effects." The reason why amethyst has been treated so exceptionally compared to other stones may lie in its color and the mysterious mental state it induces.
