While the ancients referred to many purple stones as Amethyst, today the term is more exclusively applied to quartz in the violet spectrum. The gemstone has long been assigned spiritual and mystical properties including protection from inebriation. However, this like-named volume offers no protection from the intoxicating power of Amethyst - a collectible that is still very much collectable.
