Amethyst is one of the oldest stone used in the Crown Jewels of England and one of the twelve stones of the High Priest. It was used to adorn the white marble of the legendary Taj Mahal. Amethyst beads were also found in the tomb of King Tutankhamen in 1333 B.C.
A gemstone as awe-inspiring as amethyst is always sought after. Even famous figures in both secular and ecclesiastical history were overwhelmed with admiration to this treasured gem. In fact, Russian Empress Catherine the Great sent thousands of miners to the Ural Mountains of Russia to search for this valuable stone.
According to the famous artist, scientist and inventor Leonardo da Vinci, amethyst is able to dissipate evil thoughts and quicken the intelligence. As such, amethyst bracelets, earrings, brooches, and hair jewelry are ideal to augment cleverness and improve one's state of mind.
