Incidentally, while Truth is stranger than Fiction, Discernment is more important than Fantasy.

Actually, numerology has nothing to do with the SCIENTIFIC study of colored stones. Numerology, like astrology is a pseudo-science if you will.
There are many mystical qualities attributed to various gemstones. To the practicing Gemologist, they constitute what is known as \”lore.\” I have never seen an Amethyst prevent inebriation in anyone! Nor have I ever read of such a thing being proven in a lab or in the real world!
So, the gem lore is fanciful. Understand it and consider it for what it is. Fanciful thinking.
