Amethyst has healing powers to help with physical
ailments, emotional issues, and in Energy Healing and Chakra balancing. Amethyst crystal
therapies are primarily associated with physical ailments of the nervous
system, the curing of nightmares and insomnia, and balancing the crown chakra
and Third eye.
Purple Amethyst has been highly esteemed throughout the ages for its
stunning beauty and legendary powers to stimulate and soothe,the mind and
emotions.
Whether its crystals are left natural, polished as tumblestones, or
faceted into magnificent jewels, Amethyst is a gem whose beauty transcends its
commonality. It is a variety of Quartz found in many locations around the
world, and forms as transparent, terminated crystals of all sizes in geodes,
clusters and as long single terminations. It is also found in vitreous masses
and polished into wonderful specimens and personal talismans. The presence of
manganese in clear Quartz produces Amethyst, while additional amounts of iron
vary the purple coloration. Amethyst ranges in hue from pale red-violet to deep
violet, and may be transparent or opaque. It is sometimes layered with white
Quartz as Chevron Amethyst, found in combination with Cacoxenite, mixed with
Citrine as Ametrine, or in rare cases, “rutilated” with Goethite.
In today’s world, Amethyst is still a remarkable stone of spirituality
and contentment, known for its metaphysical abilities to still the mind and
inspire an enhanced meditative state. Its inherent high frequency purifies the
aura of any negative energy or attachments, and creates a protective shield of
Light around the body, allowing one to remain clear and centered while opening
to spiritual direction. Amethyst stimulates the Third Eye, Crown and Etheric
Chakras enhancing cognitive perception as well as accelerating the development
of intuitive and psychic ability. It initiates wisdom and greater
understanding, and is a stone of comfort for those grieving the loss of a loved
one.
Amethyst’s ability to expand the higher mind also enhances one’s
creativity and passion. It strengthens the imagination and intuition, and
refines the thinking processes. It helps in the assimilation of new ideas,
putting thought into action, and brings projects to fruition. It is a talisman
of focus and success.
Called the “All-healer,” Amethyst is one of the most effective crystals
for healing people, plants and animals. Natural unpolished Amethysts or geodes
are particularly helpful placed where plants will not grow or animals refuse to
sit. It also counteracts negative earth energies beneath buildings or anywhere
that feels hostile.
