I have been working with my amethyst crystals a lot lately, due to some healing and cleansing issues that were needed in my life, and i have really rediscovered this amazing stone in a whole new light. It has really helped me to become more focused and centered and I thought i would share some of its healing properties with you...
Amethyst is the birthstone of Feburary, its the offical gem of Wednesday and is ruled by the planet Jupiter and the zodiac sign of pisces.
The ancient Chinese used it in their healing and at one time it was even mixed with saliva and rubbed on a face to help heal from acne. It is linked to the pituitary gland, which is part of our endocrine system, which is also at the heart of our psychic abilities, therefore it is also linked to the third eye chakra.
Really i find this stone is great for using when we are working on ourselves, it helps with grounding and centering, to help us to find our inner strengths and also to give us aid when we are feeling rather blue. It is a stone that can attract a more positive outlook and can attract good luck in many cases, as a lot of people carry it on a key ring, somewhat like a rabbit's foot, for luck.
I am fortunate enough to live in a place here in Canada, where amethyst is in abundance, and we are also lucky enough to be able to purchase it at a resonable price as well and as a side note it is also the official crystal of the Provience of Ontario, where i live. We also have an amazing amethyst mine in Thunder Bay, Ontario where we are fortunate enough to be able to mine our own amethyst stones, which, to mine your own gemstones is truly an amazing experience.
It comes in many shapes and sizes, personally, i love working with my raw amethyst tower stone, but i also have a polished wand that i find useful for healing me when i have physical aches and pains. I am happy i have rediscovered this amazing stone from the great world of crystals, if you have not worked with it yet, do give it a try and see what you think....
have a great day everyone!
