Healing properties of Amethyst.
Amethyst is a gemstone often worn by healers, as it has the power to focus energy. A healer will usually wear several pieces of jewelry with amethysts set in silver, especially an amethyst necklace. The person to be healed will have an Amethyst to hold while the healing is being done. The healer will place another piece of Amethyst on the area of the body in need of healing, the heart or lungs usually.
Amethyst is used for problems in the blood and in breathing problems. Amethyst crystal clusters are used to keep the air and life force in the home clean and positive.
Amethyst clusters, points or several tumbled Amethysts placed in a window that receives sun most of the day are very beneficial to use in healing and to heal negativity in the home. Place Amethyst clusters, points or several tumbled Amethysts in moonlight and everyone in the home will be feeling calmer. Using an Amethyst as a meditation focus will increase the positive spiritual feelings. Amethyst helps overcome fears and cravings. It also helps relieve headaches.
Amethyst would be very expensive if it were not for its widespread availability. Once considered more valuable than diamonds, these members of the quartz family occur naturally as crystals within rocks. Amethyst usually forms as clusters of crystals. Most Amethyst is faceted or cut into cabochons for jewelry while large chunks are carved. Most Amethyst jewelry and beads are made in Hong Kong and India. As the amethyst is abundant, there is few reason to buy gems with visible inclusions.
Translucent amethsyts with free of visible inclusions of any kind are considered best quality amethysts. They are often cut as brilliant round to maximize the color. Shapes of other cuts can be used when the color of the stone is better distributed. The gem is available in a wide range of calibrated shapes and sizes, including many fancy shapes. The stones are mined in Australia, Brazil, Sri Lanka, Uruguay, Madagascar, Zambia and in the mountains of Russia. Amethyst gets its name from a Greek word meaning "not drunken".
Meaning of Purple Roses.
Dark purple roses are one of a variety of purple roses. Other shades of purple roses include lavender, mauve, etc. Some of the roses that come in these shades are Angel Face, Plum, Sterling Silver, Blue Bird, etc. It is rare to find purple roses in nature. Hence many of the purple roses that we see, are the creation of human beings, through hybridization of different roses.
The purple rose with its elegant color and amazing fragrance has captured the hearts of millions of people. Like every rose, even the purple rose has different meanings. As red roses symbolize the emotion of love, the purple rose stands for love at first sight. The beauty of the purple rose is enchanting and enthralling and in the same way this magnificent flower is given to that person whom one finds as beautiful and irresistible as the rose. Receiving a purple rose from a person means that he / she has fallen head over heels in love with the receiver. The rose expresses fascination and attraction towards an individual. However, it is said that attraction can be just an infatuation if the rose is of light purple color. In this case, the feeling is not that of permanent or long lasting love. On the other hand, the dark purple rose symbolizes deep rooted and intimate relationships. It represents love that is true and would stay forever. Hence, they are given as gifts and used as decorations for weddings and also for anniversaries.
