Amethyst Description

Mineral class: oxides, quartz group.

Chemical formula: SiO2 + (Al, Fe, Ca, Mg, Li, Na)

Amethyst belongs to the crystalline quartz family and owes its purple color to the presence of trace amounts of iron. It forms through a hydrothermal process from silicic acid solutions with low iron concentrations that collect in cavities created by gaseous vapors in volcanic magma or, more rarely, in rock fissures. The characteristic clusters of crystals on a common matrix are called “druses.”

Element

Water: the water element relates to the sphere of emotions and femininity (love, healing, compassion, reconciliation, peace, sleep, dreams, and sensitivity).

Chakra Associated with Amethyst

Sixth chakra Ajna (“Brow or Third Eye”) and seventh chakra Sahasrara (“Crown”)

Mythology

The name “amethyst” comes from the Ancient Greek amethystos and means “one who does not get drunk.” In fact, it was already known in those times for its ability to promote mental clarity and was used at festivals dedicated to Bacchus for its power to keep anyone who carried it sober. In the times of the Greeks and Romans, bronze rings with an amethyst were considered antidotes against evil. During the Middle Ages, amethyst was more valuable than diamonds and was used by the high clergy and nobility, in the rings of cardinals, kings, and dukes, as a symbol of absolute power, since he who knew the spirit could also rule over matter.
