Amethyst, the stone of wisdom and spiritual energy
The color of amethyst comes from the presence of iron and the influence of radiation. It typically forms in gas bubbles and veins within igneous rocks, where minerals gradually crystallize over time to create amethyst. In ancient Egypt, amethyst was used as an amulet and ornament, while the ancient Greeks believed it could prevent intoxication and bring wisdom
In ancient Greek mythology, there was a beautiful maiden named Amethystos, who was pursued by the wine god Bacchus. To protect her from his advances, the goddess Diana transformed Amethystos into amethyst. When Bacchus discovered what had happened, he felt guilty and poured wine over the amethyst, giving it its purple brilliance. As a result, amethyst is regarded as the "stone of sobriety," symbolizing clarity and wisdom.
Amethyst typically forms in gas bubbles and veins within igneous rocks. Its formation process is influenced by high temperatures and pressures, which endow amethyst with unique energetic properties. The long-term natural evolution allows amethyst to absorb and store the Earth's energy
Amethyst is believed to interact with cosmic energy. It is regarded as a bridge that helps people connect with higher states of consciousness and spirituality, thereby awakening their inner wisdom and intuition.
