  • What is it: Found in Africa and sometimes called banded amethyst, dog teeth amethyst is a combination of amethyst and white quartz, mixed together in a striped, chevron pattern. 
  • History: The name amethyst derives from the ancient Greek word amethustos, meaning sober. In Greek mythology, amethyst was rock crystal dyed purple by the tears of Dionysus, the god of wine and revelry. Ancient Egyptians used the stone as the representative of the zodiac sign of the goat.
  • Metaphysical Properties: Dog tooth amethyst is said to help remove resistance to change and to dissipate and repel negativity of all kinds.
