Amethyst

The amethyst, calm and violet, carries in dreams a sense of contentment with steady, fair fortune. To lose one, though, can mark a break in love or a slight to the heart. The dream tends to ask what quiet satisfaction we are holding, and what we fear slipping from our grasp.

Miller 1901

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
