Tumbled  Amethyst

Amethyst is an extremely powerful and protective stone with a high spiritual vibration. It is also a natural tranquilizer. With its strong healing and cleansing powers, it is also a guardian against psychic attack, and able to transmute that energy into love. This is a great stone to help those with addictions and blockages of all kinds. Extremely beneficial to the mind, it calms or stimulates when appropriate, helping to feel less scattered, more focused and enhances the simulation of new ideas.

Amethyst helps with the decision making process, bringing in common sense, and spiritual insights. Balancing out highs and lows, it promotes emotional centering, dispels anger, rage, fear, and anxiety. It also alleviates sadness, and grief and supports coming to terms with a loss. This stone promotes the love of the divine, encourages selflessness and spiritual wisdom. Opens intuition and enhances your psychic gifts, this is an excellent stone for meditation. Amethyst is the birthstone for the month of February.

Historical Folklore

Crushed amethyst was used by the Ancient Greeks and Romans as a way to ward off intoxication. One story is told that partly this was due to the fact that the Romans sometimes put a piece of this stone in their wine. Then the wine could be watered down and still retain its purple color from the crushed stones within. That meant less alcohol, and thus, less intoxication. Both the Greeks and Romans made drinking cups of amethyst and wore talismans made of this stone to prevent intoxication.

There is a Greek legend of how amethyst got its purple color. Once Dionysus was so annoyed by Artemis that he set his sacred tigers upon a maiden attending her shrine. To preserve the maiden, whose name was Amethyst, Artemis petrified her in sparkling quartz. Lamenting this virgin’s demise, Dionysus poured the contents of his cup over the statue, which immediately became infused with the purple of the grape.

Chakra Association

Amethyst works well with all of the chakras but has long been associated with the crown chakra. 

Astrological Association 

For those born with their sun in Aries, amethyst can soothe and reduce the pain of headaches. If your sun is in Aquarius, amethyst helps you to work with your vision for your future. Aquarians can also use points, pointing outward, to draw off negative energy from their body. Pisceans benefit from this stone because it helps connect your everyday reality, imagination, and your spirituality. It also helps Pisces to stay grounded in reality and not use escapism as a coping tool. 

If your rising sign is in Aries, it provides protection so you do not absorb other people’s emotional energy. For those who have their moon in Virgo, use this stone to help you set realistic goals. If your moon is in Libra, amethyst helps you with decision making and putting them into motion. 

Health Folklore

Amethyst is believed to boost production of hormones, tune the endocrine system and metabolism. Releasing tension, amethyst eases headaches and any physical, emotional and psychological pain that causes tension. Amethyst brings restful sleep and treats insomnia.

Medium Uruguayan Amethyst Cluster Care

All gemstones are unique and special. Variation in color and inclusions are natural and to be expected. We have selected all of our stones for their high vibration and quality. Bathe in full moonlight regularly to energize crystals. Cleanse regularly by placing your Uruguayan Amethyst Cluster on a piece of selenite or by moving through the smoke of sage. These stones can be gently washed with soap and water if necessary.

Amethyst Points

Raw Amethyst clusters can be quite brittle and it is not unusual for them to drop a crystal or two whether from handling or during shipping. The vibrant purple color of Uruguayan Amethyst clusters is sensitive to the sun, if left in sunlight for very long periods of time the color will gradually lighten.
