Now people have linked each of the constituent gems with a special kind of power and amethyst is deemed one of the most powerful of the twelve.

Amethyst is a name that comes from the Alexandrian word amethystos which translates to “not to intoxicate.” This naming could have everything to do with the fact that in the past, the stone was worn by ancient civilians to protect them from getting intoxicated even when they had too much to drink. It was feared that the god of wine would not be amused if the mere mortals abused his creation and therefore the stone came in handy during celebrations that involved wine parties.
