For example, Amethyst, Citrine, and Prasiolite typically all get their color from trace particles of iron heated to different temperatures.Īmethyst’s energy works well with its “friends” – crystal associates formed in the same geological environment. If trace minerals are present, then the color changes. If no trace elements are present to change its color, the silic acid becomes Clear Quartz. If no trace elements are present to change its color, the silica acid becomes Clear Quartz. Once the Quartz has formed, a large hollow is often called a “druze,” while a smaller hollow is a “geode.” These druze and geodes can be removed from the host rock and then split open to revel the crystals inside. The bubble becomes a hollow space in the igneous rock and the silica acid becomes Quartz crystals. During this cooling down period, silica acid bubbles shift from being a gas/liquid into a solid compound. Quartz crystals are created when liquid magma from a volcanic eruption cools down and transforms into igneous rocks. Try it in combination with Ametrine, Citrine, Clear Quartz, Prasiolite, Rose Quartz, and Smoky Quartz. Amethyst is the purple variety.Īmethyst’s energy works well with its family – other macrocrystalline Quartz minerals. The macro-crystalline minerals form large well-shaped crystals that are often transparent, while the micro-crystalline only form microscopic crystals and are always opaque. The Quartz family has two main main groups, macr0-crystalline and micro-crystalline. There are six main groups of silicate minerals, and these main groups are further subdivided into secondary subdivisions, such as Quartz and Feldspar. These tetrahedra connect with other chemical structures, in six different ways, to form a wide variety of minerals and rocks. Together, these two elements form a tetrahedra – a shape similar to a pyramid – with a silicon atom in the center and oxygen atoms at each of the three corners. Silicates are minerals which contain the elements silicon (a light gray shiny metal) and oxygen (a colorless gas). In addition to being a major part of the Earth’s crust, silicate minerals have also been found on the moon and in meteorites. Silicate minerals are the largest family of minerals, including more than 25% of all known minerals and 40% of all common minerals. It makes a great elixir.Amethyst is a type of Quartz and a Silicate mineral. Amethyst can be used for massage in wand, egg or sphere form. It is an amazing all round healer and also a brilliant meditation crystal. It's a very good technique to do in bed before going to sleep. Place small pieces of amethyst on the 3rd eye and visualize yourself breathing in the color for total mental and emotional soothing. Geodes of Amethyst are particularly good for this, just place the head next to it you will then feel the radiation being drawn out. It also said to be useful in treating a number of disorders including those of the digestive system, heart, nervous system, skin and hearing and to help provide relief from pain and to strengthen the immune system.Īmethyst may be used to remove radiation the body stores on the sides of the head.such as from computers, microwaves, cell phones, etc. Amethyst is said to help remove toxins from the body and to help treat arthritis. Amethyst is also said to make one shrewd in business matters. It is also said to give strength and mental stability, and provides balance between one's physical, emotional, intellectual states. It assists you through the dizzying world of new perceptions of the world around you.Īmethyst brings serenity and calm, enhances your ability to assimilate new ideas, and assists during meditation. Amethyst provides a gentle awakening of the crown and third eye chakras. Amethyst is said to have been named for its close color to wine and was believed to prevent drunkenness. Amethyst has been used for centuries for its healing properties in fact it owes its name to the Greek amethustos which means “not drunken”. It owes its coloration to minute traces of iron creating hues of light lavender to intense violet purple. They each have a sweet and gentle energy.Īmethyst is the purple cousin of the quartz family, and many people are first attracted to the world of crystals and minerals by its beautiful colors. This is one of a group of small amethyst crystals from Bou Oudi, Morocco.
