All About the Meaning of Amethyst
Amethyst is a popular gemstone in jewelry that’s known for its light lavender to royal purple hue. Sometimes, amethysts are even light pink or green, though these colorways are less common. Amethyst is a member of the quartz family and is closely related to the gemstones rose quartz and citrine. As the official birthstone of February, many gals wear this stone as a necklace or ring to celebrate their birth month.
Whether you opt to wear this alluring stone in jewelry or place it in your home, it’s said that purple amethyst inspires peace, intuition, and serenity. Learn more about the meaning of amethyst and ways to wear this luxurious gemstone.
Discover the Properties of Amethyst
Some cultures and alternative medicine practitioners believe that amethyst has physical, emotional, and metaphysical properties that can be harnessed by wearing the stone. While there’s no scientific evidence to officially support these claims, we believe that this stone adds a touch of serenity to the everyday.
- Physical Properties: Amethysts may have physical healing properties including improving skin, enhancing the immune system, reducing headaches, and more.
- Emotional Properties: Amethysts are said to relieve stress and promote a state of calm. Ancient Romans believed that amethysts could even prevent intoxication, however, today they’re used to help treat addiction.
- Metaphysical Properties: Amethysts may open a person’s third eye, which helps clear mental blockages and is a source of wisdom. Some people use amethyst crystals to sharpen spiritual visions and provide spiritual protection.
