  The Amethyst or Bishop's Stone This precious stone, symbol of the bishops, kept the sense of reality. This explains why the tradition of the church would have prescribed the bishop to wear an amethyst to the right ring finger. Marguerite de Valois, the wife of Henry IV, better known as Queen Margot, loved amethysts and, according to legend, adorned the fingers of her majesty.  

 

The name "amethyst" comes from the Greek word "amethystos" meaning "who is not drunk", a name that has been given to him given for his presumed qualities to preserve from drunkenness. Considered the stone of the spiritual journey, it symbolizes wisdom and strength. With its great hardness, Amethyst is the finest stone with the purple tone most used in jewelry and jewelery. Purple has long been regarded as a royal color, it is also one of the crown jewels of the British Crown.
