Β
The name Amethyst translates in Greek to, βnot drunkenβ.Β But before you write this one off as βnot for youβ due to your Friday night Pinot habit, you should note that this potentially odd name comes from that time when angry Greek God Bacchus poured one out for his fallen homie, turning a clear crystal purple with the sweet nectar of the gods.Β Those ancient philosophers could have been onto something with the belief that it could spare you from public drunkenness.Β Maybe itβs time Amethyst replaced a penis straw as the Henβs Night must haveβ¦
Ancient angry gods and public intoxication notwithstanding, the February birthstoneβs healing properties are plentiful.Β Its purifying energy is linked to cleansing the mind of negative thoughts and releasing addictive behaviours.Β Itβs also helpful in making a clear connection between planes, making it excellent for meditation and lucid dreaming.Β Amethyst is used to open oneβs channels to telepathy, past life regression, clairaudience and clairvoyance and communication with angels.
AmethystΒ is said to aid creative thinking andΒ spiritual awareness.Β It is also a protective stone and thought to reduce nightmares.Β Β So, rather than watching βone more episodeβ on Netflix next time insomnia stripes, try placing amethyst stones underneath your pillow before you go to bed and give into the peace and calm this stunning stone can bring.
Using this Pantone Colour of the Year (2018) hued stone to decorate the home is a choice many make for its good looks alone.Β Aside from the fact that an amethyst in the family room can assist in familial bonding and in the office can bring intuition for making tough decisions and assist in stress-relief for long working days, its uplifting energy can really help tie a room together.Β

What is intuitively chosen?
When you see the below bold sentence on a listing of ours, it means we have multiple of that stone and we will pick one that we feel is right for you. We call them intuitively chosen pieces because we use our intuition to choose a piece we feel is calling us for you - a piece that is absolutely meant to be yours. We are huge believers in the crystal chooses the owner, not the other way around.
We do our best to make sure that the listing photos and information accurately depicts what we have available so you have an idea of what is coming your way, but the rest is up to the universe.
If you don't see the below on our listing, it's because it is a one off piece and we guarantee that what is pictured is the exact piece you will receive.
"Price is per one piece, intuitively picked for you. The pictures represent the quality and sizing you can expect to receive however please note that stone is unique and one of a kind so there will be slight variations."
Shape significance
Using crystals for their spiritual and healing properties can be fun and fascinating and is a killer way to connect with the earthβs energy.Β But, when you really start digging into the magickal world of sparkly stones, it can start getting really overwhelming.
Β
Not only do crystals come in every colour of the rainbow and serve different intended purposes, they are also found in many different shape formations.Β Newbies to the crystal world may think the way a stone is cut or shaped is purely aesthetic, but thereβs a little more to a crystalβs shape than meets the eye.Β Just as the colours of the stones convey unique meanings, crystal shapes also matter. And while experts say that the structure of a crystal doesnβt change the type of energy it emits, the shape DOES affect the way you receive said energy.
