Goods correspond to the photos. ABOUT AMETHYST Healer, talisman, tranquilizer, coach. Few crystals have meant so much to many throughout the ages! A variety of quartz, amethyst owes its lovely purple hues to iron, and in some cases, the presence of trace elements. Color can range from a light pinkish violet to a deep purple. A member of the quartz family, amethyst has a hardness of 7 on the Moh’s scale, suitable for jewelry. This lovely purple crystal captures the imagination with stories of legendary powers that stimulate, protect, soothe and still the mind. The cultural history of amethyst includes ancient civilizations as diverse as the amethyst deposits from around the globe. Ancient Greeks believed that the stone protected against drunkeness. Amethyst was worn in many forms such as jewelry and decorated drinking vessels and armament. Tibetans made prayer beads from amethyst and in the Old World, amethyst was considered a Cardinal gem, precious above all others. Spiritually and metaphysically, amethyst embodies an impressive list of attributes. Amethyst stimulates the Third Eye, Crown, and Etheric Chakras enhancing cognitive perception as well as accelerating the development of intuitive and psychic ability. Amethyst is impressive as a talisman of focus and success as it strengthens the imagination and intuition, helping in the assimilation of new ideas, putting thought into action, and bringing projects to fruition. Initiating wisdom and greater understanding, amethyst creates a protective shield of Light around the body and purifies the aura of any negative energy or attachments. Amethyst is also a stone of comfort for those grieving the loss of a loved one. Enjoy this lovely specimen as a decorative addition to your life, as a healing stone attuned to your personal energies, or as a key component of your project.
