If ou can only have one stone, this is one to consider for its healing and calming power.
Amethyst is a purple quartz found most
commonly in Brazil, Canada, and East Africa. The color can range from light
violet to deep purple or can be nearly colorless. Amethyst has been prized for
jewelry for hundreds of years, and before a huge cache was discovered in South
America, it was valued as a precious gemstone. It is now classified as
semiprecious.
It is one of the stones most
esteemed by healers. The legendary
American psychic Edgar Cayce recommended it for control and temperance.
Amethyst is believed to aid in the production of hormones and regulate the
circulatory, immune, and metabolic systems. Amethyst is treasured for its
centering and calming properties and seems to connect directly to the mind,
fighting emotional swings and depression. Aquarians and Pisceans can count it
as their birthstone, and this might be a very good thing because the Fishes
frequently struggles with substance-abuse issues, and amethyst can conquer
drinking and other sensory indulgences, such as out-of-control sexuality.
Amethyst also helps with metal focus, intuition, meditation, and memory.
In early Renaissance, amethyst was held
to have the power to prevent evil, at least evil thoughts, and to offer
protection in time of war. The lovely purple gem continues to reign as one of
the most popular of all stones. Little wonder, since it is such an aid to our
physical and emotional health.
