The Greek God of Wine, Dionysus was once insulted by a mortal. Being enraged, he called forth the vicious tigers to exact revenge on the next mortal who would cross his path. Unfortunately this turned out to be the maiden Amethyst. While on her way to pay tribute to the Goddess Diana, the innocent girl suddenly found herself face-to-face with the tigers of the vengeful god. To save her from the beasts, Diana turned Amethyst into a pure crystalline quartz. So beautiful was the maiden that Dionysus, in sorrow and remorse, wept tears of rich wine over the statue. His tears stained the quartz, thus creating the poetic gem which still bears her name. Its major sources are Africa and South America.
