Amethyst is a mineral of magmatic origin. It is formed in veins with solutions rich in iron oxides, which give it its characteristic purple color at temperatures below 300 °C. The most common thing is to find amethyst covering the interior of agates in the form of geodes, sometimes gigantic. They can also be found in the form of drusen (crystals that cover the surface of a stone) or in veins, accompanied by other minerals. Amethyst has been known for thousands of years, as it was already used in ancient Egypt to create jewelry, personal seals and carvings. In the Middle Ages, Christianity adopted the amethyst as a symbol of renunciation of worldly goods and chastity, and it is still worn in the form of rings by many cardinals and bishops today. Amethyst also symbolizes divine wisdom. Amethyst gives us emotional serenity, common sense, enhances motivation and memory. On a bodily and healing level, this stone is perfect for relieving certain pain, caused by physical, psychological and emotional tensions, helping to block geopathic stress.
