Amethyst was set into the rings of medieval bishops and appears in the British Crown Jewels.

In fantasy and modern pagan symbolism, dragons are guardians of treasure and wisdom and are linked with the four elements. Its name comes from the Greek amethystos, 'not intoxicated', and in older European tradition it was carried as a stone of sobriety and calm thinking. Today it is one of the most popular stones for a quiet corner or meditation shelf. In modern crystal tradition amethyst is linked with the crown and third eye chakra and with Pisces, Aquarius and Virgo. We share these as cultural traditions and personal beliefs only, never as health claims. ## How to use - Display on a shelf or desk, or use a dragon box for crystals and jewellery. - It pairs traditionally with selenite or clear quartz. - Home idea: a well-chosen object by the door or on a mantelpiece sets the tone of a room. - Gifting idea: a practical, beautiful item suits housewarmings and new-job presents. - Ritual idea: give the item a regular moment in your day, such as morning coffee or evening journalling. ## Care - Wipe with a fine, slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away; steer clear of soaps, salt and long soaks.
