Geology: Amethyst belongs to the quartz family and has a hardness of 7.
During its formation millions of years ago, traces of titanium, manganese and
iron were added to liquid silicon (SiO2), the basic building block of all
quartz, which gave amethyst its unique color. The most well-known sites where
amethysts can be found are in Brazil, Uruguay, Mexico and Western Australia.
Historical tradition: Amethyst is revered by almost all peoples of the world. The name comes from the Greek word "amethy-stos", which is equivalent to the expression "not drunk". The Greeks believed that the amethyst endows upon the wearer more firmness of character, which provides a protection against magic, home sickness, evil thoughts and drunkenness. Moreover, it protects the wearer against invasion of the mind by evil forces. It transforms bad thoughts into optimism and provides a release from false friends, who are simply kept away. Amethyst should always be worn in a way that makes it visible. After the sites where amethysts were located in Germany, around the area of Idar-Oberstein, were exploited about 100 years ago, the Idar-Oberstein pioneers emigrated to South America where they were fortunate enough to develop sites where the revered amethysts could be found.
Curative and therapeutic effects on the body: Amethyst has a calming effect on the heart and
nerves and it improves the ability to concentrate. It helps against migraine
and tension caused by stress. If an amethyst is laid under the pillow, it will
ensure that you sleep gently and it will guard you against nightmares. First of
all, it stimulates those people who lack fantasy and protects children from
the effects of stressful events, such as outbursts of fury, hysteria,
stuttering, epilepsy, neuroses and skin rashes frequently associated with
these. It activates the connective tissue of the skin and helps the skin to
better store water. Consequently, the skin becomes more resistant to diseases
and remains longer in a supple and soft condition, right into advanced age.
Amethyst water cares not only for the skin, but also clears the glands and
pores of blackheads and congestions. Amethyst harmonizes hair growth from the
hair cells and alleviates superfluous facial hair and a loss of hair. Warm
amethyst baths activate the skin to breathe, and by means of the sweat glands
it produces better cleansing of the body. In the case of itching skin
irritations, reddening and weeping eczema, we recommend swabbing the affected
skin areas with an amethyst massage rod, in combination with an amethyst chamomile following wounds caused by rubbing, amethyst
water can be used very much like a gentle shaving water.

or too low blood pressure should always carry a phantom amethyst with them.

the skin (herpes simplex and herpes labials). Amethyst massage rods in
combination with amethyst water can also be used against psoriasis and

insect bites and other injuries to the skin can likewise be very quickly
alleviated and healed with amethyst.

Sceptre amethyst: Sceptre amethysts are amethysts which have
developed on already existing crystals. They can be distinguished from phantom
amethysts in that they have grown externally over the crystal and show common
growth. Using scepter amethysts, healing effects can be transformed in an even
more concentrated manner to the afflicted parts of the body.
Enhyrdo amethyst: These amethysts derive their properties from enclosed primeval waters dating back millions of years. The primeval water in these amethysts is exceptionally rich in energy and is pure. It strengthens, in particular, the meditative properties of the amethyst. Enhydro crystals open the chakras still more sensitively and, at the same time, stimulate the nerve centers especially vigorously during opening.

partnership. Amethyst gives its wearer the ability to recognize and solve
problems from a wider perspective. At the same time, it generates a high level

How can I obtain an amethyst and how should I look after it? Because of their popularity and thanks to their beautiful color, amethysts can be obtained as rough stones, crystals, hand stones, book ends, geodes, chains, pyramids, obelisks, donuts and many fantastic elements for necklaces and leather bands etc., as well as high-quality, faceted precious stones. Amethyst should be discharged and cleaned under running, lukewarm water. We recommend that chains are discharged once a month overnight in a dry bowl with hematite tumbled stones. Amethyst should never be charged in the sun, but in a group or geode made of amethyst crystals.
