Legends And History Related to Amethyst Lace Agate Stone

In order to understand the history and legends related to this stone, you need to understand the history and legends related to amethyst. The term “amethyst” has stemmed from the Greek word “amethystos” which can be roughly translated into “not drunk”. Why has this name been chosen? Well, because there is a popular Greek legend about a god who accidentally created the stone amethyst. The legend is as follows.

A young maiden whose name was Amethyst was going towards her home to her parents after she had worshipped Artemis at his temple. But unfortunately, on her path to her home, she ended up encountering Dionysus. At that time, Dionysus was very angry because his father had insulted him. He was sitting on the path with the vow that he would unleash his anger and wrath on whichever mortal crosses him. Consumed in wrath, Dionysus sent his guardian tigers to kill the poor maiden, Amethyst as soon as he encountered her. In order to save herself, Amethyst, the maiden, transformed into a beautiful clear stone.

As soon as this happened, Dionysus felt remorse for his wrongful deeds. In order to send love and light to the poor soul of Amethyst, Dionysus poured his enchanted wine over the stone, thus turning the stone purple. He called this stone amethyst after the name of the young maiden whom he had hurt.

This is why, historically, people have worn amethyst lace agate as well as amethyst to protect themselves from intoxication, sorcery, black magic, evil eye, and stuff like that. The Greeks and Romans believed in this stone to the extent that they encrusted their goblets with amethyst and amethyst lace agate in order to ward off their drunkenness.

Origins of Amethyst Lace Agate Gemstone

Almost all agates have beautiful banding patterns. This banded beauty (agate) results from several microcrystalline quartz structures aligning and combining with each other. We cannot explain the process behind amethyst lace agate’s formation because it's long and extremely complicated. The amethyst lace agate stone set in your beautiful sterling silver jewelry takes up to 50 million years to form.

Agates are generally formed because of the deposition of groundwater that is rich in silica into igneous rocks. The agate formed by this process deposits in concentric layers around the cavities present in these igneous rocks, or it ends up as horizontal layers that build up from the very bottom of the cavities. Because of this particular pattern in which silica-rich water deposits, most agates are characterized by beautiful banded patterns.

One thing that we need to note here is, for the formation of agates, we need plutonic igneous rocks and volcanic igneous rocks. Why? Well, because these types of igneous rocks have a higher tendency to hold groundwater, or, in other words, they have the ability to keep groundwater steady for longer periods of time.
