Semi-Precious Stone
Amethyst
Collection: Semi-Precious
Overview
Amethyst is a stone of spiritual protection and purification; cleansing one’s energy field of negative influences and attachments. It creates a resonant shield of spiritual Light around the body. Known as a violet variety of quartz. The Greek word “amethystos” may be translated as “not drunken”- a reference to the belief that the stone protected its owner from drunkenness. The ancient Greeks wore amethyst and carved drinking vessels from it in the belief that it would prevent intoxication.
Amethyst may exhibit one or both secondary hues, red and blue. It owes its violet color to irradiation, impurities of iron and in some cases other transition metals, and the presence of other trace elements, which result in complex crystal lattice substitutions. The hardness of the mineral is the same as quartz.
