Amethyst is probably the best known and most used stone from the quartz group. They have a characteristic light to dark violet color. This gemstone is formed under the earth’s surface as igneous rock by cooling of liquid rock.
For centuries, amethyst, a member of the quartz family, has been known as a stone of protection.
Its name derives from the Greek word ‘amethystos’ meaning ‘without drunkenness ’ and is believed to protect a person from poison or intoxication and encourage sobriety in Greek mythology.
While it can be used to assist one in giving up bad habits such as smoking or drinking, it can be used to clear the energy field of negative influences.
As a result, it was often used as jewelry and/or as an amulet.
Placing amethyst clusters in the home, meditation room or car can bring the feeling of being protected by a bubble of light or flame. It can also aid in meditation by clearing the mind of clutter allowing one to easily enter into a meditative state. It is said to strengthen the immune system and helps to heal imbalances of the respiratory tract.
Amethyst is readily available in nature making it one of the more affordable stones. While many of them come from South America, the highest quality is supposedly from Russia. Amethyst is a must for your collection if you need some relaxation.
Have a nice week!🌺
