easton:



Amethyst @ one of the precious stones in the breastplate of the high priest kjv@Exodus:28:19 kjv@Exodus:39:12), and in the foundation of the New Jerusalem kjv@Revelation:21:20). The ancients thought that this stone had the power of dispelling drunkenness in all who wore or touched it, and hence its Greek name formed from a, "privative," and methuo, "to get drunk." Its Jewish name, ahlamah', was derived by the rabbins from the Hebrew word halam, "to dream," from its supposed power of causing the wearer to dream. It is a pale-blue crystallized quartz, varying to a dark purple blue. It is found in Persia and India, also in different parts of Europe.
