Amethyst, a purple crystal. Crystals are one of nature’s ancient gemstones. Hundreds of millions of years ago, hydrothermal veins rich in silica slowly precipitated and crystallized into columnar crystals by filling fissures in the earth’s crust under certain temperature and pressure conditions. Amethyst is a noble member of the crystal family, and can be found in alpine fissures, shallow low-temperature hydrothermal veins, mineralized cavities in granitic rocks, and crystal holes in basaltic lava.

Legend has it that the god of wine, Bhaskar, once pushed a young girl named Amethyst to a beast in front of a drunken prank, and the goddess Diana, who couldn’t bear to see the young girl being brutalized, turned her into a white sculpture. At this time, Baska sobered up, regretful, and was deeply fascinated by the statue of the girl, he was sad when the wine in his hands accidentally spilled on the sculpture, the statue was actually transformed into a beautiful amethyst. In order to make up for their own mistakes, but also in order to commemorate the maiden, the god of wine will be the maiden’s name “AMETHYST” to name.
