An "expert" opinion on amethyst

Recently, we found an antique book on gemstones written by what we consider to be an "expert". We would like to share some of his revealing insights with you. On amethysts, he writes:

"Amethyst proved itself against witchcraft, which is still believed to be the cause of many accidents today. One should engrave the sun and moon in an amethyst and wrap it in the feathers of a swallow. Wearing this amulet protects the wearer and his/her property against black magic."

And he follows:

"Because amethyst is the birthstone for Pisces, it is closely associated with Neptune and thus with all that has to do with water. Therefore, sailors will do well to provide themselves with an amethyst, so Neptune will be merciful on them. Amethyst also protects against inundation, flooding, and the risk of undermining."

We at Adin would rather have our customers take swimming lessons and buy amethyst as presents for each other than use it for the powers proclaimed by the "expert" in this antique book. More revealing insights on other gemstones from our newfound "expert" will follow soon.
