Amethyst Spiritual Bracelet. 

Despite its prevalence, amethyst has been one of the world’s most revered stones for many centuries. Found in as many places as Brazil, Bolivia, Mexico, Africa, Canada, Russia, the USA, and Europe, this stone has a rich history of astonishing civilizations with its stunning, saturated beauty. While the Neolithic people in Europe used it as a mere decorative emblem around 25,000 B.C., Ancient Greeks and Romans used amethyst in several ways, from beads in jewelry to amulets. These ancient civilizations placed a high value on this stone. They believed that the amethyst crystal meaning was synonymous with luxury. As such, it was highlighted as part of their crowns, scepters and rings. Christian bishops once wore amethyst jewelry in the form of a ring. Its color was meant to symbolize royalty and an allegiance to Christ. Catholic clergy members wore amethyst stones in their crosses because their amethyst meaning was one of piety and celibacy. It is even thought that the breastplate of the high priest of Israel was adorned with amethyst as its ninth stone. It’s said that there were ten stones upon which the names of the tribes of Israel were engraved, and amethyst is believed to have been one of such stones.
