history
The name comes from the Greek word amethystos, meaning ‘calm.' In Greek mythology, when Dionysus, the God of Wine, was smitten by a young maiden named Amethystos on his way to visit the Moon Goddess Artemis. To protect the maiden, Artemis turned her into a white stone. Deeply feeling remorse and beginning to cry, Dionysus' tears — which were of wine — stained the white statue of the maiden, turning it into a beautiful purple gemstone. The name amethyst comes from the maiden's name. In Japan, this purple color is the highest ranking of the 12 levels of colors established by Prince Shotoku.
