 | "Nice cluster of Amethyst crystals with Hematite inclusions. The name "amethyst" comes from the Greek and means "not drunken." This was maybe due to a belief that amethyst would ward off the effects of alcohol, but most likely the Greeks were referring to the almost wine-like color of some stones that they may have encountered. Its color is unparalleled, and even other, more expensive purple gemstones are often compared to its color and beauty. Although it must always be purple to be amethyst, it can and does have a wide range of purple shades.
Metaphysical: Amethyst is known to "guard against excess". Amethyst is associated with water, energies seem to flow easily through it. Many use Amethyst for Meditation and healing. It works in the emotional, spiritual, and physical planes to provide calm, balance, patience, and peace." Location: Colvine Ridge, Uruguay Size: 20.3 x 15.2 x 2.5 cm. Weight: 2.0 lbs.
