Amethyst Presentation?
I have to do an Earth Science presentation. It's on Amethyst, and I will be graded on "Wow factor." I have no idea what to do except stand up and talk. But my teacher says that will be too boring, so I need a good idea. It only has to be 3 minutes, and it's due Friday. Also, any unusual uses or legends of Amethyst--other than the one about Dionysus--will help in my presentation. Thanks for your time 
Amethyst - Superstitions

Brings contentment and sincerity.
Prevents drunkenness, falling in love foolishly.
The most popular mythology surrounding amethyst is from ancient Greece. The word "amethyst" is of Greek origin and is translated as- "amethystus" meaning not drunken, or intoxicated ("-methystos" from "methyein" or intoxicated, "methy" = wine). As a symbol of sincerity and stability, the unique purple shades of amethyst have been declared the "Rose de France" and has been set, even today, in Victorian jewelry (rings, bracelets, necklaces, hair accessories etc.). The mythology of this stone, unsurprisingly, spreads through modern mythology and even ancient and recent legend.
