According to Greek mythology, the amethyst was of the utmost importance as she grounds you and purifies you of negative energy or stuck emotions. There is a myth that Cleopatra wore a ring made of Amethyst engraved with the image of Maend, a Persian god, who was considered a source of enlightenment and love. Amethyst has also always been a signature gemstone for bishops of the Roman Catholic church. Often incorporated in many of their ceremonial rings.
Psychics, mediums, and other divination practitioners also still hold Amethyst’s worth in high regard. They often decorate sacred altars and spaces with its incomparably beautiful violet designs.
Early civilizations used to call rose quartz, pink quartz or hyaline quartz. The name rose quartz came from the Greek word “hyalos” meaning glass. The rose quartz crystal meaning in legends suggests that Aphrodite’s blood-stained on white quartz when she cut herself on a thorny bush to save her love Adonis from Are’s war. Zeus brought Adonis back from war out of empathy and made the meaning of rose quartz, love rekindled or renewed. In another Greek story, Cupid and Eros brought the rose quartz to humans to sow love and hope.
