Druse is a grey stone covered with amethyst crystals. It is often oval or pointed, but can also have other various shapes. Amethyst can be dressed with the full range of violet colours. It is often translucent. Its colours are due to its silicon dioxide content and some traces of iron. It is extracted from deposits around the world, particularly in Brazil, Russia, India, and Africa.
Its name comes from the Latin “Amethystus” and the Greek “Amethystos” which means “preserves from drunkenness”. Amethystos is the name of a nymph in Greek mythology. According to legend, Dionysus, god of wine, was angry and would have wanted to take revenge on human beings by releasing his tigers on the first person who crossed his path. It was the young Amethystos who experience the effects of his anger. She then invoked the goddess Artemis who changed her into white crystal. Dionysus, regretting his action, decided to throw wine on the crystal, giving it its purple hue. Starting there, this crystal was given the name “Amethystos”.
Amethyst adorns the episcopal ring of the bishops, in order to bring them clarity of mind. It also adorns many royal jewels such as the crown of England. It is indeed a gem appreciated for jewellery making.
