The Mystical Power Of Amethyst Crystal

The calming and spiritually protective amethyst has a mystical energy about it, and the beautiful coloring makes this purple quartz even more exceptional. Amethyst is a violet variety of quartz. It is formed in the presence of manganese and is found in Brazil, Uruguay, South Africa, Madagascar and India.

Just holding a piece of Amethyst helps raise your vibration, putting you into a calmer and accepting frame of mind. It is believed that its very essence heals on the metaphysical and physical levels of our being.

Experts in crystal healing teach that amethyst crystals are the foremost stones of the violet flame. The use of the violet flame which emanates from this exquisite stone is overseen by the ascended master St. Germain. The violet flame helps transmute negative energies in the body and creates harmony. Wearing amethyst jewelry is a powerful way to absorb the benefits of this magical stone.

In many cultures, a large number of miraculous powers are attributed to amethyst, and it has been said to bring victory in war and in hunting, to drive out evil spirits, to boost the intellect, and even to protect crops against pests, particularly locusts. It is not unusual to see amethyst sewn into the special robes of priests and nobility.

The origin of its name is Greek and means ‘prevention from drunkenness’. It is said to help overcome any addictive compulsive disorders including alcoholism, overeating and other addictions. Ancient Greeks wore amethyst and drank wine from amethyst cups to protect them from intoxication. For myself, as a recovering addict, this crystal is a ‘have-to-have’ assistant in my collection of crystals!

Amethyst is also a must-have for developing psychics and mediums. Its psychic enhancement properties are attributed to its association with the crown chakra and therefore the realms of spirit and higher consciousness. It helps to bridge the gap to the other side, accessing divine wisdom, spirit guidance, and energy healing and protection. I have programmed several amethysts and keep them with my psychic tools. It is a great choice for rune readings and for dowsing pendulums because of its conduciveness to psychic awareness and opening up the third eye chakra. Above all else, it is a great helper in guarding against psychic attack.

Those prone to nightmares and some who battle to fall off to sleep often have an amethyst next to their bed, under their pillow or both. Other uses include using amethyst for attracting love, putting one into a dream pillow, for extra protection in past life regression and for dreamwork.

The amethyst produces a small detectable magnetic field like our bodies and the two interact. Because amethyst is quartz it is capable of increasing the size of our bio-magnetic field a hundred-fold on contact, thus replenishing lost psychic or physical energy.
