To the sixth prompt for the
sunshine_challenge, we have a really fascinating stone! (And also, a really fascinating Steven Universe character.)
( A Sierra Game, and a Crystal Gem )
Would that we all had supportive environments for ourselves, from the beginning of our existence to our last days as elders.

In the ancient world, Amethysts were believed to hold the power to purify the body, especially from drunkenness. It was also thought that they could help cure disease, and so Amethysts were used to draw any illness out. They have been associated with royalty, nobility and spirituality because of their purple colour. In modern times, they’re used as popular semi-precious stones and are either cut into faceted gems or carved. Amethysts are also the birthstone for February.
