The substance you are allergic to is called an “allergen,” and the symptoms caused are defined as “allergic reactions.” When an allergen enters the body of an allergic subject, the immune system responds by producing a large number of antibodies called IgE. Successive exposure to the same allergen will produce the release of chemical mediators, particularly histamine, which will produce the typical symptoms of the allergic reaction.

AMETHYST, MAGIC, LEGENDS and CURIOSITIES

The attribution of the magical object of the amethysts began at the same moment that a human being found one; we can imagine his fascination with an object of such a beautiful color, which allows light to pass through it, which is cold at the touch of the hand and which nonetheless possesses the color of the magical violet fire. It is easy to guess, that from the first moment it was considered a special, valuable object that by its beauty could only bring good luck to whoever had it. And the best way to have it permanently would be wearing it, and so, in a simple way, it would be like the first jewels were born, in the form of company, amulet, talisman or fortune mineral. And this magical halo would forge stories and legends that have come and continue to expand, to this day.

Of all its legends, perhaps the most repeated is that related by Aristotle, who attributes to Bacchus, the god of wine, the creation indirectly, of the amethysts, for being persecuting a beautiful young woman who, faced with her harassment and attempted rape, He asked the goddess Artemis for help and she turned it into a vine of violet color, thus preventing it from being violated, (from which comes the word violet, non-violation).

Another form of this same legend is the one that tells that in fact Baco was drunk and persecuted a nymph, named Ametis (from where comes the word amethyst, which also means “not intoxicating”) which used its magical powers to become a beautiful crystal of completely transparent quartz and Baco was so distressed that I spilled the glass of wine that he had in his hand on this crystal, as an offering and an apology and that at that very moment, the crystalline quartz turned into a beautiful amethyst of the color of wine.

As a curiosity, there is a city in Brazil called Amethyst of the South, but this is not the curious thing, not even the obvious fact, by the name, that there are plenty of amethysts there; the curious thing is that the largest church in the town, is built with amethysts and even more curious that each inhabitant took at least one amethyst for its construction, so literally, its walls are lined with beautiful and twinkling amethysts; more than forty tons of amethysts.

Curious also the fact that both these Brazilian and the Uruguayan amethyst can reach more than a hundred million years.

AMETHYST: WHAT IT IS, HOW IT GROWS AND WHERE IT COMES FROM.

Amethyst is a quartz that grows in veins where the presence of ferrous oxide solutions are abundant, specifically a macrocrystalline variety of quartz, which owes its extraordinary color to its chemical composition, mainly iron (oligisto), calcium, boron, aluminum, magnesium and phosphorus among other alkaline components.

If an amethyst is subjected to a temperature higher than 300 / 400ºC, its violet color turns yellow (and it is sold as false citrino)…

With the contact of our skin, the amethyst is heated and its energy, its vibration expands. If we make two amethysts collide with each other, (being in the dark) we can observe that sparks of light jump: these two properties are called piezoelectricity and pyroelectricity, both properties of quartz.

Its energetic vibration is constant, and like all quartz, its energetic effect is balancing and harmonizing.

There are deposits of amethysts in almost all continents, but the most relevant are in: Brazil, South Africa, USA, India, Argentina, Uruguay, Russia and Madagascar. I wish you liked it and that throughout the articles that I will be uploading this week, you will fall in love even more with this extraordinary mineral.

AMETHYST, SACRED FIRE.

For the great majority of the lovers of the mineral kingdom, the amethyst represents the maximum expression of beauty, not only for its form but for the extensive and varied chromatic quality with which we can find it; from the most pale and beautiful lilac, to the deepest and most inspiring purple, the amethyst goes through the whole gamut of violet.

Also, among all the stones considered semiprecious, the amethyst is the one with the most tradition, antiquity, legends, uses and applications.

Zodiac, myth and legend of the Amethyst

The legend of the origin of the amethyst comes from the Greek myth. Dionisio, the god of intoxication, was angered one day by an insult from a human and swore revenge on the next mortal to cross his path. Violent tigers should carry out their desire. Amethyst, a beautiful single girl, on her way to pay homage to the goddess Diana, would become the victim. Diana transformed Amethyst to a pure crystalline quartz stature, to protect it from the brutal claws. Dionysus wept tears of wine, in remorse for his action at the sight of the beautiful statue. The god’s tears stained the purple quartz, creating the famous jewel.

Amethyst is the birthstone for those who were born in February or for the zodiac sign of Pisces.

In ancient times, as well as in the middle Ages, people believed that the cosmos was reflected in precious stones. The amethyst is assigned to the planet Neptune. The esoteric movement rekindled the old belief and the jewelry industry made it another marketing tool, to promote certain gems. The healing powers of gems remain a controversial issue, but they are mentioned for centuries by healers, shamans and medicine men. Whether they are facts or a placebo effect does not matter, if it helps. It is safest to use the stone in contact with the skin in the problematic part of the body. Amethyst is said to be helpful for headaches, back pain and pancreas.

Amethyst:

It is a microcrystalline variety of quartz. Its characteristic violet color can be more or less intense, depending on the amount of iron (Fe + 3) it contains. It can be colored by zones with transparent or yellow quartz. The tips are usually darker or degrade to the colorless quartz.

Amethyst and its uses:

Amethyst: Meaning, properties, uses, geodes, magical properties, healing properties, benefits, superset amethyst, vibration energy, how it grows and where it comes from, mother earth medicine, personal use.

AMETHYST SUPERSIETE:

This spectacular amethyst is called Super 7 because it has seven qualities in itself. It will probably be a very old mineral but it has recently been discovered by the crystal therapy expert Melody. We can find it in its laminated form since this is the best way to appreciate its seven qualities, related to its formation: amethyst quartz, smoky quartz, transparent quartz, cacoxenite, rutile, lepidocrite and goethite.

It is a personal mineral of meditation although it can be used for crystal healing by placing it on the heart chakra for its powerful unifying energy: it balances the energy of all the chakras. Placed on the area of the thymus gland increases the resistance of the immune system.

Another of its properties is to open the cellular memory providing courage in the event that the person feels fear of their healing and / or channeling abilities. It is also used by holistic therapists to repair the auric lattice of their patients.

Vibrationally, the energy of the superset amethyst balances the possible imbalances that could be in each of our farms, either by excess or by defect; the blocks are balanced. The ideal would be to have 7 supersite amethysts to place one in the center of each farm and self-perform a daily treatment for several days in a row and then go to space to finish as a maintenance treatment a month, in a relaxed state, while listening to meditation music for 15/20 minutes. In this way the vital centers are revitalized, the thoughts, ideas and creativity are reinforced and balanced, and the possible wounds of the heart are understood and dismissed, neutralizing.

There is an increase in personal confidence, self-esteem and creativity. A wonder the help that Mother Nature offers us with this special amethyst so powerful.

AMATISTAS: PERSONAL USE.

Carved, natural, in druse, geode, boulder, and jewel … How would it be better on a personal level? As defined in my previous article, to integrate the vibration of a chosen mineral, in this case, the amethyst, the ideal is to relate to it in a triple way: an amethyst in direct contact with the skin, either as a pendant or in a pocket, having another amethyst, which can be in pebble, which we will use to “carry” with its vibration the water of a glass (which we will leave submerged in the water throughout the night and which we will ingest when we get up, or inside the bottle of mineral water from which we will be drinking throughout the day) and another amethyst more, of a larger size, ideally flat (so that it does not bother us or risk damaging us with its sharp edges ), to place it under the pillow.

This self-treatment will be maintained for several weeks in a row and we will take personal notes of the changes we are observing.

Of course, this self-treatment does not replace a crystal therapy treatment performed by a holistic therapist, but rather it is a maintenance supplement to reinforce the health results we intend to obtain.

AMATISTAS: MEDICINE of MOTHER EARTH.

The use of amethyst in natural, vibration and holistic therapies, for its crystallotherapeutic value, (treatment with the imposition of minerals on the body of a patient placing them through aesthetically symmetric configurations on their vital centers -chacras- and / or around their bio energy field -Aura-, as well as in hands and feet) is proven effective as a natural medicine (medicine, it is a word of shamanic origin, “man or woman medicine” is one that uses, as tools of healing, those offered by Pachamama – the Earth-, to return to recover the lost health of both the body and the feeling or the psyche), covers a host of applications, among them we can mention:

Its vibration balances both cerebral hemispheres.

Strengthens the immune system, raises the level of consciousness and helps define the mission of life by providing objectivity in spiritual concerns.

It exerts a beneficial protective influence.

Her vibration is related to the energy of liberation, transmutation and forgiveness, which enables her as a companion crystal in healing processes of sentimental wounds, painful memories, traumas and fears.

Strengthens self-esteem and helps face one’s limits and fears.

It is the ideal mineral when Regressive Therapy is being performed.

It can be applied on the body of a patient who is being treated with Reiki or another hand-laying technique.

It is the best mineral that we can hold between our hands when it comes to meditating or relaxing.

Help to fall asleep if we place a flat amethyst boulder under the pillow.

It fights stress, both physical and mental, providing clarity by balancing holistically, mind, body and feelings.

It is the most emblematic mineral to recover vitality after an illness and / or surgical intervention.

Undoes energetic knots that could be on the auric lattice.

It brings peace, stability and tranquility to the character.

It helps a lot in cases of dependency (gambling, smoking, drug addiction, etc.).

It provides firmness and security to the character, personality and temperament.

Rubellite Stone Meaning and Uses

Rubellite – a relatively inexpensive stone. But the witticisms who believe that the name “rubellite” arose because the stone is cheap and its main property is the ruble of the price. Pyatikaratny rubellite – with proper quality and with a deep uniform color – can be estimated at two and a half thousand dollars. Although rubellite is smaller and not the most beautiful color can cost ten and fifteen times less.

The intensity of the color of rubellite is determined by the concentration of manganese in the crystal. Nature seemed to take care that manganese was not boring in the company of other elements: the chemical formula of rubellite takes a whole line. But it is manganese that makes rubellite stone truly beautiful.

Beauty is the main property of the gem. The best rubellite is like a color standard for plant breeders, garden raspberry breeders.

Rubelus means “red”

Rubelus, in Latin, means “red.” However, rubellite is a mineral that is slightly bluish red. Meets pink rubellite. In this case, both the red and pink color of the precious gem fully corresponds to the natural color of the raspberry berry in different stages of maturity. The most expensive rubellites intensity of tone is close to a ripe cherry.

Possessing a sufficient index of refraction, crystalline rubellite attracts buyers by playing light in a stone. Jewelry properties of the gem are appreciated!

Painted in the color of an overripe cherry, the mineral ceases to be rubellite and turns into siberite. There is nothing to be surprised: gemmological relatives of tourmaline (rubellite and siberite are species of tourmaline) are numerous and ubiquitous.

Where does rubellite live?

Uralic mines and stone deposits east of Lake Baikal, the Lanka Mountains and the Madagascar deposits give the world the most beautiful rubellite. Especially large crystals “grow” in Brazil. A record large druse of crystals of Brazilian rubellite weighed four tons. Individual branches of this splice reached a meter length at a half-meter section.

Large and Californian rubellites. But not the size and weight distinguish the best stones of this variety of tourmaline. Colour! Rubellites from the Italian island of Elba are considered the most attractive. For the richness of shades of pink color, the rubellites of this island received a personal name, and are called elbaites.

Stone, valued by history

Rubellite, now stored in the Diamond Fund, and shaped like a bunch of grapes, was rumored to be an ancient Chaldean sorcerer. The old mage did not buy a stone, but with a cunning trick he lured the demon, who brought out the crystal from hell.

A millennium later, the famous gem became the property of Julius Caesar. True, by the time the red stone rubellite properties magical podrasteril, and ensure its owner the unimpeded movement through walls and mountains could no longer. As a result, Caesar died a martyr’s death, and a luxurious crystal disappeared for centuries.

More than 1,500 years after the death of the Roman emperor, the ancient rubellite again became the center of attention. Presented as a gift to the Russian Empress by the Swedish king, the stone was accepted with favor, and relations with the donor state improved.

However, the infernal nature of the ancient crystal proved itself. The war with Russia in Sweden did happen, and the Swedes did not bring glory: having lost the generation of a demonic force, the country lost the ability to win. Since then, Sweden is not involved in military conflicts…

Therapeutic magic rubellite

The magical properties of rubellite known to contemporary esotericists do not inspire fears to the owners of these gems. Corrected in gold rubellite is extremely beneficial for the sphere of human heart attachments. Love stone magic is positive and constructive. Presented as a gift (and necessarily accepted with joy), rubellite becomes a pledge of long and bright relations.

The best way affects rubellite and on health. When wearing rubellite on the arm, the glands of internal secretion are normalized. The rubellite pendant, worn in the projection of the heart, helps the realization of the pumping function of the heart muscle.

Pink Quartz

When it comes to natural materials of pink color, most often we mean the subtle nuances of minerals. Another thing is pink quartz! He is uncompromisingly rosy, although not always bright, and is never completely transparent.

The foggy depth of pink quartz is a highly valued property. Jewelers outplay the opacity of the stone as an element of aesthetic inconsistency. Litho therapists put the healing abilities of a mineral in dependence on the characteristics of its optical parameters. Esotericisms are convinced that out of the density of color and saturation of the “fog” in the array of gems, its magical possibilities result.

Beautiful, but unstable

The popularity of rose quartz is by no means limited to the price of a stone. Masters, adjusting gems cut into cabochons, warn: keep cool, keep the heat from the heat of the day and wear it in the evening. “Why? – The ladies are surprised. “After all, in the sun, pink quartz shines no worse than ruby!”

The explanation is given by scientists. The color of the mineral is due to an admixture of titanium ions to the silicon oxide, which forms the basis of the stone. The charge of the ions is unstable: as the temperature increases, it changes so that the titanium atoms cease to interfere with the passage of light through the array, and the quartz becomes transparent.

Complete decolonization of rose quartz occurs when the temperature reaches 300 ° C; however, lower doses of heat are sufficient to reduce the color level.

Pink quartz – not only pink

Various deposits – and pink quartz is mined in Karelia, Altai, Madagascar, the Alps, and America – gems of different shades are produced. In the photo you can see quartz, the pink color of which is gentle, like the first rays of dawn. It is not difficult to find quartz, the brightness and color density of which border on the transition to red.

Purple (purple, lilac, and lilac) ebb of rose quartz is not, but if you want to find such stones in the market you can. In ultraviolet light, such quartzes exhibit the properties of fluorescence and give a weak, but very beautiful violet glow. Researchers say that the color variations of rose quartz are due to microscopic inclusions of iron and manganese compounds.

Unfortunately, most once-rich quartz mines are now depleted. Despite the constant increase in the extraction of technical quartz, the stone of jewelry quality is less and less … The tendency of brightly colored rose quartz to cracking further complicates the arrival of a fine gem on the jewelry market.

Rutile quartz also happens to be pink!

Rutile quartz is a product of a natural compound of titanium oxide and silica. The rutile crystals germinate in the quartz mass with needles-sometimes beams, sometimes disjointed, but always beautiful. Particularly expressive are quartz, the pink haze of which contrasts with the golden shine of rutile needles.

If the rutile inclusions are co-directional and thin to indistinguishability with the naked eye, pink quartz exhibits an asterism effect. The light flicker on the surface of such a cabochon takes the form of a six-beam star. The mysterious inner glow of the stone seems to hide under a pointed gleam…

Magic properties of rose quartz

Pink quartz has an “innate” ability to tune the owner’s soul in a romantic way. It’s worth the brutal lover of mineralogy to acquire several quartz pyramids – and now he lets his hair off as the early hero of Mel Gibson or Sylvester Stalonna. The woman, in whose arsenal there are ornaments with pink quartz, is experiencing an irresistible urge to agree with the man – which ultimately leads her to the marriage altar.

Deep, hidden from the surrounding, consciously constrained feelings pink quartz frees. Do not be surprised if after a week the possession of a beautiful gem will pull you to confide in a company of casual acquaintances. Do not resist, if quartz pushes you to buy your favorite, but carefully avoided cakes. Conquer if the talisman of rose quartz calls you to walk instead of sitting in front of the TV!

Astrologers note that pink quartz is equally favorable to all signs of the Zodiac, but it brings the greatest benefit to the first signs of the trigons. Aries, Capricorn, Libra and Cancer feel the influence of the stone as extremely positive and very powerful.

The healing properties of rose quartz

Wearing bracelets with pink quartz is shown to pregnant women. The mineral normalizes the state of the mother’s vessels and metabolism in the child. Actually, overcoming vascular dysfunction of various geneses with the help of rose quartz is one of the traditional directions of litho therapy.

The result of everyday communication with pink quartz is the improvement of blood circulation in the brain, distal parts of the body. Under the influence of the mineral, the hemopoietic function of the bone marrow is improved. Promotes the gem and getting rid of diseases of the lymphatic system.

Experts warn: too long (perennial) and frequent (daily) contacts with pink quartz change the psychological susceptibility of a person. By reinforcing the stereotypes of a positive perception of reality, a mineral can weaken the understanding of dangers.

Carnelian – orange, red-orange color chalcedony. Chalcedony consist of thin quartz crystals and have a fibrous structure. Orange-red and orange-yellow-pink chalcedony are called cornelian. Dark specimens of carnelian brown-red color are called carneols.

Carnelian is a stone with weak radioactive properties, which requires a golden frame. It is often called the July gem. He gives his owners love, conjugal happiness, health, courage. In ancient Egypt, carnal and ritual ornaments were made from carnelian, which were dedicated to the goddess Isis. The symbol of the goddess Isis resembles the shape of a three-leafed clover – it was carved in carnelian – on the clasps, on the rings, and thus asked the great goddess, the “mother of the gods”, for protection and after death.

Red carnelian was considered the stone of the martyr Bartholomew.

In the Middle Ages, carnelian ornaments were very popular, because at that time it was believed that this beautiful stone could defeat black magic, protect from ill-will, contribute to secrecy, give the owner courage, reconcile quarrels, keep away from evil spells and lightning. It was also believed that carnelian intensifies the sense of touch and protects against the squandering of vitality.

Carnelian contributes to the treatment of fever and nervous diseases, strengthens the teeth, regulates menstruation, has bactericidal properties.

Carnelian, worn in a suspended form (necklace, beads, rosary, etc.), is capable of increasing anger. Therefore, it is recommended to wear it in the rings – then it calms the heartbeat, contributes to the favorable response of another person to this or that request. In ancient times, carnelian was divided into “male” and “female”. Reddish carnelian was considered “male”, and orange-yellow – “female”.

Carnelian helps the digestion of food, the search for a way out of any life situations, is useful for the circulatory system, protects against infections, regulates the functioning of the thyroid gland.

The name “cornelian” came from the Greek word sardolith – a stone from Sard. Other names of the mineral and its varieties: blood agate, linkurus, carneol, sard.

The name of the stone comes from the Old Russian “image as heart”. This collective name of chalcedony (a cryptocrystalline variety of silica) is a sardar (from Sardis – the name of the capital of the Lydian kingdom, located near the Aegean coast of modern Turkey), carnelian (from the Latin cornum – dogwood), linkurus.

Carnelian, sardine, carnelian – one of the few names of precious stones, reached us through the millennium, almost unchanged. The oldest obsolete synonyms of the name “carnelian” were “akiq”, “vaklar” and “demion”.

Physical properties :

a) Consists of a cryptocrystalline variety of silica, naturally colored with hydroxides and iron oxides in chestnut, brown-red (starter); red, orange-red (carnelian); orange-yellow and yellow (lenturium) shades,
b) hardness of carnelian – 6.5-7,
c) density – 2.6 g / cm3,
d) the degree of transparency – translucent to transparent.

Features of education. Carnelian was formed as a result of ancient volcanic processes in the bubbles (tonsils) of lava flows and vent structures of the volcanoes, where it is found together with agate and other colored varieties of chalcedony. But its rich color, as many geologists believe, it acquires already on the surface, after the destruction of its volcanic rocks, including, under the influence of sunlight.

The deposit of the best carnelians in Russia is Eastern Siberia: the basin of the Zeya River (Amur Region), Yakutia, Chukotka, Buryatia, southeast of the Chita Region; from foreign deposits, it is worth mentioning India (the Deccan Highlands, Gujarat), Mongolia, the USA (Montana state), the island of Madagascar, Uruguay and Brazil.

Application. The first products of carnelian (the oldest tools) were encountered during excavations of paleolithic man sites (800-60 thousand years BC). As a material for the manufacture of jewelry, amulets, talismans and cult objects, carnelian has been used since the early Neolithic (18 thousand years BC).

The most popular of this remarkable stone was in Ancient Greece, Mesopotamia, the Middle East, in Russia and in medieval Europe. It was valued much higher than many of the precious stones and metals are known at that time, for example, in the 4th century AD. carnelian ranked fifth in value in the row: diamond, pearl, emerald, noble opal, carnelian, red carbuncles (spinel, ruby, garnet) and then gold, silver, sapphire, and topaz.

From it was made amulets, rings, other jewelry, carved prints, cameos, intaglio, figurines, cups, crosses. Carnelian – a traditional material for the manufacture of jewelry. Carnelian, in general, was loved by many great and famous people: the history included the suspension and a favorite vessel of carnelian with shadows for the ages of Queen Cleopatra (69-30 BC), belt buckle decorated with carnelian “Stunner of the Universe” warrior Tamerlane , the seal of the last Hetman of Ukraine, Kirill Razumovsky, the ring-mascot of Byron, according to the legend presented to him in Greece by the gypsy Khatadzhe (in fact he was presented to the poet by his friend Edston, supposedly as a token of gratitude for saving his life).

In ancient Egypt, carnelian likened to the “sunset in the stone”, was considered the stone of the goddess Isis (the mother of all gods), able to bring wealth and glory, to ensure a tranquil descent into the next world and a sweet stay in it. According to J. Kuntz, the 156th chapter of the Egyptian “Book of the Dead” begins with these words: “The head of the buckle of cornelian placed on the neck of the dead.” Isis blood, Isis virtue, the magical power of Isis, the magical power of the Eye guarding this Great (deceased ) – they will turn away any evil that threatens him. “

Healing Crystal Apatite Stone

In geology, “deceptions “It is customary to call the rocks imitating metal nuggets. However, the real geological “deceiver” is apatite – and not only because his name in Greek means just a strong inclination to deceive. Calcium phosphate, being a part of this mineral in close connection with molecular calcium, forms geometrically corrects formations, capable of intensive growth, and resembling expensive crystals of precious stones. Drushes of apatite can reach multi-meter sizes and masses of several hundred kilograms! However, not all mineral concretions are equally good. The jewelry is of small crystals of transparent apatite. And only not many of them are endowed with sufficient purity to get into the skilful hands of the cutter.

Three faces of apatite

In modern science, there are three varieties of this mineral: flour apatite, chlorapatite, hydroapatite. Three varieties do not mean only three variants of “appearance”: apatite has so many variations on the theme of transparency and chromaticity that in the past even observant minerologists easily misled the nature of the stone. The impurities of macro- and microelements, heavy metals, non-metallic compounds radically change the face of the stone. Unbelievably beautiful transparent crystals of light violet or pink color. However, much more common formations of green and blue shades. The cut crystals of apatite are very reminiscent of beryl, tourmaline and even thick-green diopside. Not too great hardness of the mineral – the first difference of the deceptive gem fromother precious stones.

Apatity in the world

Industrial extraction (and, together with it, selection of jewelry crystals) apatite is conducted in the north of Russia and in Finland (blue stone); in Norway (moroxites of the color of the sea wave). Green stones come from the shores of the Indian Ocean and from Canada. Yellow and brown stones are mined on the American continent. Violet and colorless apatites – comes from Europe. Relatively recently discovered deposits of pink apatites – in the Pamirs and Transbaikalia.

Turquoise Properties of Azure Stone

Effects on humans

Apatite is a stone that works best in combination with other minerals. If yellow and brownish crystals activate the work of the heart, blue apatite, combined with aquamarine, helps lecturers and singers. The overall harmonization of the physical and mental state of the body goes faster if a person wears intensely colored blue apatites with rock crystal or diamonds. Green apatites contribute to the development of an optimistic outlook on life. Mixing green and blue in the color of the crystal means that this stone is useful to a person in need of periodic pacification and comfort. In black magic, apatite is not used, because it is basically impossible to harm a person.

The magical power of a mineral

Preventing life shocks – that’s what the owner of apatite jewelry can count on. This stone casts prophetic dreams, mobilizes foresight, and strengthens the intuitive awareness of danger. When wearing it, the mineral manifests itself in completely physical ways. When the danger is thickened, the skin in the place of contact with the stone is irritated, it itches, it turns red. The appearance of a desire to remove ornamentation from apatite is the correct evaluation criterion of a sharp increase in the threatening danger. However, one should not part with a faithful servant: Apatite is so deeply rooted in the nature of man that after losing from the master loses its visual merits, and from the precious stone often turns into a dull shining fragment of the rock.

Interaction with the signs of the zodiac

Signs of Fire (Lions, Sagittarius and Aries) can wear apatite with confidence in the benefits of contact. But Pisces stone is contraindicated: its soothing effect makes Pisces drowsy. It should, however, be borne in mind that the effectiveness of a stone depends on its naturalness. Changes in color and structure occurring after heating, digestion in an active medium, sizing and other methods of “refinement”, taken from masters of southern countries, reduce the effectiveness of apatite.

Stone Amethyst – its properties

God, instructing the Jews concerning the search for the Promised Land, commanded Moses to make a tabernacle with the tables of the Covenant, including amethysts. Jews love the amethysts instilled by the ancient Egyptians: violet with red tint stone adorns many Pharaonic regalia.

Greeks sparkling with purple light quartz was considered magical and attributed to him the ability to counteract alcohol. The Romans went even further, writing a touching legend about a nymph who did not want to surrender to Bacchus, and petrified as a sign of the firmness of her refusal. Sorry, Bacchus tried to revive the beauty, but the brilliant stone did not come to life, but only shone with the color of expensive wine…

Nowadays amethyst is loved for its accessibility and beauty. They love and cherish amethyst, in spite of its simple mineral origin, a stone of delicate quality…

The physical properties of amethyst coincide with all the parameters of quartz. Often the crystals of amethyst and quartz are fused into a single entity, and such specimens readily buy mineralogical museums.

The Meaning of the Stone Topaz

The esoteric properties of the stone are much more curious. The Greeks, who drank nothing stronger than wine, considered amethyst to be the petrified juice of a grapevine and believed the gem to be the master of intoxicating power. Throwing the amethyst into a bowl of wine, they waited for the stone to absorb intoxicating spells, leaving an exquisite bouquet of the drink intact.

Popular in ancient times, the legend developed in later times. In the Middle Ages, amethyst was attributed to the property of neutralizing any poisons (and not only alcohol, which at that time already, could be isolated from wine by evaporation). The pounded amethyst was mixed into food and drink, a ring with a stone was lowered into wine, bottles with healing medicines were plugged with amethyst plugs…

Did the stone help? For sure – especially if it was evenly and densely colored.

Color of amethyst

With the coloring of amethyst – like many quartz gems – it’s not easy. It is known that violet-red amethyst fades when heated, but is capable of returning a color close to the original, with subsequent gamma irradiation.

Physicists attribute this property of quartz to the special role of microscopic impurities. By themselves, micro inclusions scattered in the SiO2 array do not give color, but the interconnected electrons of silicon and iron atoms change their energy level and are intensively absorbed by light waves of certain lengths.

Having informed them of the energy (thermal), you can correct the absorption spectrum – as a result of which the color of the stone will change. That’s why there are amethysts in the world, the color of which is included in the range of red-violet tones but differs in the predominance of those or other shades. Pink, purple, blue-violet amethysts do not contradict its mineralogical nature, and from time to time occur in the natural environment.

Reinforced heating leads to … a change in the name of the stone. Remaining still quartz, heated to an orange-yellow color, amethyst becomes a citrine. In nature, such transformations happen. In some cases, a warm amethyst can turn green, which immediately makes it a praziolite.

Somewhere in the Brazilian outskirts are found praziolits of natural origin, but they do not differ in high jewelry quality. The fact is that the quartz is green before it is completely and irrevocably clouded by overheating. Therefore, natural praziolite, firstly, green is not noticeable, hardly noticeable; secondly – grayish and darkish; thirdly, one to one resemble a bottle of mineral water from the Caucasian spill. What creates all conditions for abuse…

Serious specialists in the coloring of stone, skillfully manipulating the heating and irradiation yet make the non-market amethysts acquire a green color, and in plenty, they are supplied to the jewelry market. The so-called “natural stone green amethyst” is natural only in the part of the origin of the stone itself. His color is artificial.

The Meaning of the Stone Topaz

Many precious stones are “secretive”. Some of their aesthetic content and spiritual essence is exposed. Most of the crystals find their destination, only having been in the hands of a jeweler.

Large stones with a good cut become solid, significant, desired decorations. Small, somehow polished gems cannot boast of an important value…

Topaz is also unique in its importance. His character cannot be attributed either to extroverts or too introverted ones. He never sticks out himself, but he does not hide his properties either. Analogizing with the person, it is possible to tell: topaz value knows, and submits itself exactly to the best of its capabilities.

Symbolizing wisdom, peace, constructive harmony, topaz – regardless of its color – “tame” a person. To wear topaz means to hold a staff in your hand, helping to overcome the vicissitudes of life’s path.

What does topaz stone mean?

First of all, topaz as if assuring others: “My owner is a man of good artistic taste, with plenty of money and reason.” Different colors of jewelry inserts from topaz can specify a person’s commitment to one or other life aspirations. But never the owner of the topaz will not be proud of extravagance, boast of doubtful achievements, and commit ridiculous actions.

The properties of Alexandrite

Mystic Topaz, known for its magical properties, denotes the owner’s belonging to the adepts of esoteric knowledge. It should be noted that not everyone capable of magic realizes his own calling, and can be completely satisfied with a completely mundane occupation. But if he likes the mystic-topaz, then the real purpose of the individual is to comprehend the mysteries of nature.

The exact value of blue topaz it is not always easy to determine because of the difference in the brightness of the color of the stone. The degree of modeling influence on the gem (heating, irradiation) also affects the crystal’s capabilities. It is noted that the mystical meaning of a small but intensely colored topaz of completely natural origin exceeds the magical potential of larger but darker stones.

What does the blue topaz stone represent artificial coloring? Initially, only what the owner sees in it. With careful handling, eliminating the discoloration of the crystal; and also with constant spiritual communication with the stone, its power grows. Especially useful is the inheritance of blue topaz by blood relatives, related, among other things, also with deep feelings.

Blue topaz, after passing through several “co-directed” in the spiritual sense of ownership, acquires the value of a powerful magical artifact.
