JJJ ITS APPEARANCE FOR BETTER RECOGNITION :
Amethyst is a magnificent natural and intriguing fine stone. It offers vibrant and refined hues. On a pyramid of semi-precious stones, it would be placed at the very top! An essential stone that is very popular in lithotherapy! The most common is translucent purple with beautiful shades and brilliant reflections. It also recalls the royal color. This main color can vary from pale mauve, through "lavender" shade, to dark purple (sometimes almost opaque). Due to its "intoxicating" color and its many benefits, it is surely the most known, appreciated, and used of all stones! If you don't have it yet, then you need yours!
""" HISTORY :
Amethyst has been known since antiquity and takes its name from the Greek "amethustos" which means "not drunk". According to some legends, it protected against drunkenness and excesses ("methúô" without the "a" in front = "to be drunk").
A little anecdote about its well-known stories: According to Greek mythology, the god of wine Dionysus was offended by Amethyst, a young woman who rejected his advances. To protect her, the goddess of the hunt transformed her into a white stone. To repent, Dionysus poured his wine over it, which gave it this beautiful purple color... The Greeks and Romans, convinced that amethyst reduced the effects of alcohol, drank wine from cups set with amethysts. After drinking so much, their state prevented them from seeing that the cups were filled with wine diluted with water! Since the amethyst's hue already added purple, they didn't notice anything!... A trick that surely allowed them to end up less drunk!
It is a natural rock of magmatic origin, a variety of quartz belonging to the silicate family. Its main component is silicon dioxide (chemical formula: SiO2). In principle, this gem is found in the form of a geode, lined with crystals inside. Its density is 2.65 and its hardness is 7 on the Mohs scale; its solidity therefore allows it to be "sculpted". Its color also varies depending on the amount of iron and manganese it contains. Amethyst deposits are found mainly in Brazil, Madagascar, South Africa, Uruguay...

??? NOTE :
- The more the properties of the stone match you, the more connected you will be and the more you will receive its positive energies. The many benefits of stones can have more or less intense and rapid results, from one person to another. This is normal, everyone has their own degree of receptivity, and reacts in their own way, at their own pace. It also depends on the state of the stone (if it is pure and charged enough) so that it can bring you its virtues.
- By taking care of a stone, you also take care of YOURSELF, as it allows you to feel better. It is an exchange and above all essential to maintain its beauty and energetic powers. Clean it regularly to purify it of absorbed negative waves, then recharge it with POSITIVE waves; this will boost its virtues and its vibratory rate. Think about it, it will make all the difference!
