I took a photo of Amethyst quartz at National museum of Prague. The name comes from the Greek word βΞ±ΞΌΞΞΈΟ
ΟΟΞΏΟβ βamethystosβ from Ξ±- a-, "not" and μΡθΟΟΞΊΟ (Ancient Greek) βmethysko / μΡθΟβ metho (Modern Greek), "intoxicate", a reference to the belief that the stone protected its owner from drunkenness.
