The Amethyst Stone or Bishop
This precious stone, symbol of the bishops, has kept the sense of reality. This explains why the tradition of the church would have prescribed the bishop to wear an amethyst on the right finger.
Marguerite de Valois, 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 given to him for his presumed qualities to preserve from drunkenness.
Considered the stone of the spiritual journey, it symbolizes wisdom and strength. With its high hardness, Amethyst is the finest stone with the purple tone most used in jewelry and jewelry. Purple has long been considered a royal color, it is also one of the crown jewelry of the British Crown.
