About Amethyst...
The name amethyst translates in Greek to, “not drunken.” An ancient Greek myth explains this seemingly odd name. According to the myth, the god Bacchus was angry, and had vowed to descend a hoard of tigers upon the first person who crossed his path. Amethyst was on her way to give thanks at the shine of the god Diana, when she happened upon Bacchus. Before the tigers could eat Amethyst, she was saved by Diana, who turned her into a clear crystal. Bacchus, remorseful for the fate he had so recklessly caused the girl, poured the juice of grapes over the stone as an offering, and thus bestowed the crystal with its unique purple coloring. The Greeks gave amethyst crystal meaning, perpetuating a belief that it could inhibit the intoxication of all who wore it. In the Chinese philosophy of Feng Shui, amethyst meaning is quite different. Amethyst properties are not of sobriety, but of wealth in this ancient harmonizing technique. If placed in the wealth corner, amethyst can amplify the flow of prosperity into the home.
Amethyst healing properties are as plentiful as the stone itself. It is thought of mostly as a protective stone. As it is linked to the crown chakra, it is helpful in purifying the mind and clearing it of negative thoughts. This includes the negativity of stress and anxiety, which is why many meditate with amethyst so as to rid themselves of that darkness. Amethyst healing properties are especially useful in regards to work-related stress, because the stone is also associated with abundance; therefore relieving stress while emanating prosperity. The amethyst properties which facilitate intuition and communication can also be applied to increased work effectiveness.

The Bucking Mare
Meet the Maker
Welcome to Dirty Name Ranch, home of The Bucking Mare!
I am inspired by all things organic, wild and free! Originally hailing from California, I was blessed to be transplanted into the wilds of Northeast Washington State in 2010 before moving deep into the Ozarks of Missouri in 2018. Creating, crafting, and being a part of nature has always been a part of who I am. I come from a family filled to the brim with like minded, crazy talented and artistic women so it was only natural that I would start to create, and create, and create. Needing an outlet for all this creating my husband and I took the leap and started Dirty Name Ranch in 2011. I create artisan made jewelry, accessories and more from under The Bucking Mare brand. All of my creations are hand-crafted and no two items are quite the same, whether it be a pair of earrings, saddle bling, prayer mala or hip flask. I use only high quality materials and traditional techniques to hand-tool, hand-knot and hand-stitch my creations.
Here at the Dirty Name Ranch we embrace the cowboy ways! We also believe that there is a Bucking Mare at the heart of every cowgirl! Wild, free, never truly tamed and lovin' the ride! We hope that you will join us in buckin' for the brand!
