I’d been meaning to start these sooner, but I thought it would be fun to share what little I know about the stones I like to work with. I’ve often been accused of being overly brainy and a symbologist. I’m not sure either really fits me well, but it’s fun to pretend they both are sometimes.
So…amethyst is a rather lovely variant of quartz whose color varies from white through light purple to dark purple. It’s a semi-precious stone generally native to the warmer climates of North America, although they have been found in Europe and Africa as well.
Amethyst has been thought to promote meditative thought, creativity, and relaxation for centuries. It is also thought to promote success in business matters and through changes.
Finally, Amethyst is the traditional birthstone for those born in the month of February.
Look for more stone introductions over the next few months!
