Medieval soldiers in Europe wore amethyst talismans as amethysts were thought to keep the wearer level-headed in battle. Amethysts were also considered has a symbol of status among the high clergy and royalty, since the vivid hues of this gemstone were one of the most expensive colors to reproduce in cloth dying. Amethysts were also ranked among the world’s most valuable gemstones until the 18th century, when large deposits of amethysts were found in Brazil.
