One of my favorite crystals is Amethyst. I use it to cleanse my jewelry. Place one or two pieces on a cluster, leave it to do its magic for 24 hours and hey presto, clean as a whistle! I don’t know how it works, but energetically anything I leave on my cluster always feels as if it has just been through a wash cycle.
Once revered as a precious stone, Amethyst known as the “Stone of Spirit,” mirrors the color of the crown chakra - our doorway to the Divine! Amethyst is used in Mala beads as a meditation tool in Tibet and is said to calm, protect, and cleanse the spirit. Its color strengthens the muscles of the eyes and gazing into an amethyst sphere will exercise your eye muscles. I tried this and it was so successful that I ceased to wear glasses!
Its name is derived from the Greek word Amethystos, meaning to be sober or not to be drunk. There are two stories associated with Amethyst, I’ll just share the least disturbing version. The tale reveals the unreciprocated love of Bacchus the God of Wine for one of Aphrodite’s nymphs named Amethyst. Tiring of his advances, she begged Aphrodite to help curb his enthusiasm thereby freeing her from his endless pursuit. The Goddess of Love granted Amethyst’s wish and transformed her into a beautiful clear quartz crystal. Stunned and mortified by his loss, Bacchus poured his cup of wine over the top of the crystal changing its color to that of wine and vowed never to drink again. In Greece, goblets were fashioned from Amethyst with the notion that they could stave off drunkenness. Fortunately, these days it’s a different kind of spirit that Amethyst works best with!
