I recently purchased a string of tumbled Amethyst crystals to have a pendant, set of earrings and bracelet made for me. The reason behind this is that atmosphere at home is getting way too toxic, constant fighting and bickering about nonsense. I haven’t discarded malicious influences from people outside our home, which means I have to cleanse my home with sage or incense as well as talk to my sweetie and get the airwaves clear, but for now I’m exploring with the crystals to see how it goes.
Some of you may know that Amethyst is a powerful peace stone; it brings calm and clarity to any environment and improves communication. When people are in a transitional state (loss of job, divorce, break-ups) people usually tell you to get an Amethyst asap to calm, soothe and relieve you of your inner pain and suffering. It will also help you move on.
I wore the Amethyst set yesterday as it was Sunday, the corresponding day for this crystal and the 7th chakra. It calmed me and made me more open to my sweetie’s suggestions, but I’m still not experiencing enough calm.
Please share your experiences with Amethyst crystals below.
A crystal or talisman will never control you for you. They will AID you, not hold your hand. You have to consider what the key is to helping you control yourself/the situation as you desire. I personally wouldn't have chosen amethyst, but I am not an amethyst fan. I do like its alter ego, citrine however (citrine lacks the oxidation of iron amethyst does, but it is the same crystal).
For calming of emotions, I would suggest bloodstone or chrysacolla. You need to be grounded, not spiritually heightened (as amethyst does). Bloodstone is protective (due to its iron content) but I would personally pair either one of these with something like hematite which is extremely grounding and shielding. You don't need to wear it as jewelry. For stress help, I would wear that at the level of your heart (or for neopagans "heart chakra"). Hematite can just be thrown into your pocket.
Just wearing a crystal or stone after looking up its magickal properties isn't exactly working with crystals/stones. You have to prepare them for your goal and look after them. Especially with all that gemstones and crystals go through before you purchase them, they need assistance before being able to perform well.
Here is a topic I wrote on gemstone magick, if you are not aware of how to work with stones and crystals formally.
Amethyst has psychic effects and good to be used in different divination practices.In feng shui it is used as a representation of triple luck and a good charm for business
Amethyst is known as the stone of Humility... It actually has hints of red rays through it. When united with the purple, is allows a connection to Spirit- in the physical sense it also can help with tension/migraine headaches. As far as toxicity goes, a better stone would be Hematite or having charocoal nearby. I am a big fan of crystal therapy xx
Sodalite is more reliable in creating peace in a home than Amethyst is, amethyst is more likely to just make every kind of lazy.
Besides, crystals only do so much, they require a real amount of effort on your part, as well.
Amethyst is a wonderful crystal, especially for an Aquarius. Many know of their physic properties, but a lesser known feature of the amethyst is that in ancient Rome they were revered as a stone of sobriety, so they are also good for addictive behaviors.
For your needs, may I suggest looking into Citrine. Though not as pretty, they are one of the only stones that do not need to be recharged or cleansed ever. They are great at healing past trauma of the mind and spirit and repelling negativity. They are also inexpensive.
haha, I'm actually wearing a Amethyst right now. its one of my favorite gems, Its helped me with insomnia, depression and it always manages to lift my spirits.
A few months ago I gave one of my close friends a Amethyst crystal (Along with a tiger's eye, rose quarts and Moonstone) to help with her problems in life, she told me soon after that it made her feel much better and now she's doing much better than she was before and she still keeps them with her.
Its a very powerful stone and I really like them
