At one time Amethyst was thought to prevent drunkeness! In ancient times, before modern mining techniques and the discovery of the huge deposits in Zambia and Brazil, Amethyst was more valuable than diamonds! Almost every culture, from ancient Egypt to modern Europe, has valued Amethyst as jewellery. It is a wonderful crystal compound; and is best in its natural state. I have some large lumps of it. Hold it in your hand, and the heat causes it to "vibrate". You can actually feel it! Maybe not so much as pure Citrine, but it does vibrate.
