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.

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.

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:

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.
