Catholic bishops also wore Amethyst in a
ring to protect from mystical intoxication.

Amethyst provided a connection to the
Divine. To the Hebrews, it was Ahlamah,
the ninth stone in the breastplate of the
High Priest; engraved with the tribe of
Dan, as well as the twelfth foundation
stone for the New Jerusalem. To the
Egyptians, it was Hemag, listed in the
Book of the Dead to be carved into heart-
shaped amulets for burial.

In Eastern cultures, it was listed in
descriptions of sacred "gem-cities", "trees
of life", and used in temple offerings for
worship. It was also often used to align
planetary and astrological influences.
Additionally, Amethyst was popular in
rosaries and prayer beads. It was credited
with creating an atmosphere of pious
calm, imbuing a sense of mental peace,
and quietude.
