What gemstone has a name literally meaning not intoxicated?
Amethyst is a violet variety of quartz often used in jewelry. The name comes from the Ancient Greek ἀa- ("not") and μέθυστος méthystos ("intoxicated"), a reference to the belief that the stone protected its owner from drunkenness.

I don’t believe in the healing power of stones even though they are beautiful Healing power comes from God and I’m living proof that prayers do get answered

No, God created these gems and all things. I believe in Him, the source of all life and beauty.

I am sorry to say I don't believe in amulets. But I do believe in the power of prayers, though.

I believe in the peace some stones seem to radiate, whether as a specific amulet, I don't know.

I don't believe in the power of amulets. I only believe in the power of prayers and our created God.

I do believe that if you believe amulets, stones, have healing powers, then they do.

Absolutely. What you need to understand is that sometimes the answer is no.

I also do not believe in the powers of amulet. But who can define God ? In other words, who is God ?
