Gemstone Dictionary: AMETHYST
Amethyst is a form of Quartz Crystal that is found all around the world. It is characterized by a distinct purple hue. Amethyst is one of the most popular stones in the world. In the western world, it is a birthstone (February) and is used in a lot of jewelry. It has a long history and was revered by the Ancient Egyptians (their mummified Pharaohs and Kings were often buried in tombs and crypts decorated with amethyst), along with the Ancient Babylonians.
Use in healing: Amethyst is really a great overall stone for healing. Amethyst is good to use in meditation, because it improves visualization and helps one relax. It is sometimes used to help quell addictions because of its calming, absorbent qualities. You can use Amethyst to develop your psychic abilities or to become more aware of your dreams. Keeping one near your bed can help with insomnia. In health, it is said to relieve migraines, help breathing issues such as asthma or bronchitis, and helps heal sprains and muscle injuries. According to legend, burying a piece of amethyst in front of each doorway of your house will help prevent thieves from entering your home, along with others who wish to do you or your family harm. Amethyst Elixirs are often made to help heal blemishes and improve circulation. To make one, simply soak a few amethyst stones or crystals in a glass of fresh water. Place this in a window where moonlight is most visible (around the full moon would be best). In the morning the water can be used to wash up with.
Element: Water
Chakra: Crown Chakra
Zodiac signs that tend to be attracted to it: Pisces and Aquarius
