Genuine Natural Amethyst Gemstone Beads "Amethyst" means "not drunken" from
a legend regarding an unhappy Bacchus. A pure maiden serving Diana
happened to cross the angry God's path. He set his animals upon her
and she called for protection. Diana turned her into a pure white
gem to save her. Feeling shame Bacchus poured wine upon her, turning
the lovely maiden, Amethyst, a beautiful violet purple. Western Astrology
associates Amethyst with Aquarius. To Eastern Astrology it is considered
a secondary gem of Saturn (ruling Capricorn and Aquarius). Amethyst
is an important gemstone in opening the 6th Chakra, or 3rd Eye. Shimmering
amethyst is stunning with garnet, rock crystal and pearls. Our luscious
amethyst beads are lovely A to A/B Grade. Excellent deep purple color
and clarity make it a bit more expensive, and worth it. 4mm Amethyst Beads - Round 6mm Amethyst Beads - Round 8mm Amethyst Beads - Round
