The manganese contained in clear quartz produces amethyst and it is believed that the concentration of iron impurities adds to the depth of the purple hues. Amethyst’s healing qualities have been passed on through the centuries and have been used since biblical times. In Exodus it is listed as one of the 12 sacred stones found on the High Priest Aaron’s breastplate and is also mounted in the Fisherman’s Ring worn by the Pope. The Romans were the first to record their belief that the special purple crystal called amethyst could be used to prevent drunkenness. They were so convinced that this was in fact true, the most prized goblets were those encrusted with amethyst. Ambassadors in Ancient Egypt carried amethyst carvings of beetles called scarabs with them whenever they traveled. They believed the scarabs made from amethyst could see through illusions and protect them from treachery. Ancient Persians believed that amethyst had the power to keep away hail and locusts. The color purple has always been associated with divine connections and spiritual insight; thus the purple vestments still worn by priests today. Amethyst is considered a powerful and protective stone. It has been suggested that it helps with insomnia due to its natural tranquilizing properties making a great stress reducer and mood stabilizer dispelling anger, rage, fear and anxiety. Others believe it is good for arthritis, pain relief and circulatory issues. Amethyst is said to boost hormone production, tuning the endocrine system and regulating metabolism. This gem could be helpful with those struggling with alcohol, drugs or other addictions. It may calm and stimulate the mind, helping with focus, memory and motivation. Amethyst assists in remembering and understanding dreams. Selflessness and spiritual wisdom are believed to be enhanced by Amethyst. Amethyst is considered the gemstone of meditation, peace, balance, courage and inner strength. The Science behind the Therapeutic Benefits of Amethyst I’ve enjoyed a therapy at my Naturopath’s office using the healing powers of Amethyst on a specialized bio-mat filled with the precious gems. Amethyst generates far-infrared radiation. The far-infrared radiation may produce the following 8 benefits. Cell-Growth Promotion: Far-Infrared radiation is known to promote cell-growth and cell-regeneration. Sleeping Aid: Experiments show far-infrared has a sleep modulator effect. The low level of heat emitted by Amethyst crystals can help to calm your body and help you sleep. Blood-Circulation Enhancement: Far-infrared radiation enhances blood-circulation by increasing ‘microcirculation’ among the capillaries in your skin. Better Circulation of Bodily Fluids: Far-infrared radiation increases the flexibility of your blood vessels allowing the blood to reach its destination more quickly. People Feel Happier: A recent study used discs radiating far-infrared radiation under subjects pillows while they slept and found a positive mood enhancing effect. Increased Anti-Oxidant Activity: Far-infrared radiation promotes antioxidant production in the body. Healing Power for Wounds: Because far infrared radiation increases the body’s circulatory processes, it can help wounds to heal by bringing cells the nutrients they need for repair. Fighting Bacteria: Far-infrared radiation helps to inhibit bacterial growth by inhibiting the enzymes that lead to their growth. Scientists have found that it is far-infrared radiation specifically and not merely heat that inhibits the growth of some bacteria in the body. Regular heat does not have the same effect. Amethyst also produces small, detectable magnetic fields. Since your body also has a magnetic field, the Amethyst and your body can exchange energy with one another. Amethyst is capable of increasing the size of your biomagnetic field by 100% within seconds of being in its presence. This can increase your energy levels. Negative Ions are free electrons or any simple molecule with a net negative charge. Ions are broken molecules with special electrical properties. Since they are ‘broken’ they naturally seek out other molecules and compounds that they can combine with. For this reason, negative ions are able to draw other particles if they are found in large enough concentrations. Thus negative ion emission can draw bad particular and ‘free radicals’ out of your body. Amethyst crystals emit negative ions and can bring about the benefits of negative ion emission. The three most exciting benefits of negative ions are removing toxic particles from the body, enhancing respiration by removing particles from your lungs and removing dangerous chemicals like aerosol from your body.
