The amethyst stone is a powerful healing crystal that is known to eliminate negative thoughts and behaviors. Being linked to the Crown Chakra, it is known to alleviate headaches, stress, and anxiety. Therefore, when worn close to the head, such as in the form of earrings, the stone will aid in clearing the mind, helping to remove mental blocks. I picked out a couple pair of unique earrings from my eBay store in the pictures below.
There are many positive qualities to this semi-precious stone. Especially relevant is the characteristic to keep the wearer safe and protected from harm. So this attribute could be very valuable to many people.
An interesting fact is that the word amethyst comes from the Greek meaning “without drunkenness”. Thus, it encourages sobriety of all kinds, such as suppressing addictions to alcohol, gambling, and overeating. This purple beauty can help activate the mind so it can stay focused on what’s important.
I have several amethyst rings, earrings, and pendants in my rather large jewelry collection. My mood is almost always uplifted when I wear any of these stunners. The stone is a natural tranquilizer because it eases feelings of anger, anxiety, and sadness. It has so many outstanding qualities that everyone should have several pieces to turn to not only for it’s allure as jewelry but also when the need is there for healing.
