Amethyst was a young virgin
who became the object of wrath
of the Greek God Dionysus after
he became intoxicated with red
wine. When Amethyst cried out
to Goddess Diana for help, she
immediately turned the girl into a white, shimmering stone (quartz). When Dionysus realized what had happened and felt remorse for his actions, his tears dripped into his goblet of red wine. The goblet overturned, and the red wine spilled all over the white rock, saturating it until it became the purple quartz that is now known as Amethyst.
