Amethyst Feng Shui

Symbols / June 8, 2014

Amethyst crystal is unique among all crystals in its popularity, as well as affordability. Mother nature has been very generous with the available amethyst; this makes it affordable to choose it for your office, home, garden and even your car!

One of the most popular uses of amethyst is in a cluster or tall geode, as well as tumbled rock form. The deeper and more intense is the purple colour of the amethyst, the higher is the price.

Let's see what is special about the amethyst crystal, where does it come from, as well as how to use it for your own healing, in jewelry or for good feng shui in your home.

WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT THE AMETHYST CRYSTAL?
The colours of the amethyst - from light pink to deep purple, indigo and violet - evoke strong healing powers of this crystal. The amethyst works to purify any space of negative vibrations, emanates higher energy and creates a suitable place for one to come back to the source of his or her own power. It calms and cools excessive emotions, and eases the transition to a more meditative state by clearing the unnecessary mind clutter.

On a physical level, amethyst is said to strengthen the immune system and help heal imbalances of the respiratory tract and skin. It is interesting to note that the name amethyst translated from Greek means a stone that can protect the wearer from intoxication!

WHERE DOES THE AMETHYST COME FROM?
Most of the amethyst comes from Brazil and Uruguay, although it also can be found in South Korea, Canada and USA.

The best, highest quality amethyst is considered to be the amethyst from Russia.

WHAT ARE THE SPECIFIC FENG SHUI PROPERTIES of AMETHYST?
In feng shui, the amethyst is used for its purification qualities, as well as its ability to connect to higher planes of energy. It can be used to calm the emotions in a household where there are excessive arguments and misunderstandings. It can also help with study and learning.

WHERE DO I PLACE THE AMETHYST FOR GOOD FENG SHUI?
It is an excellent feng shui cure for the following bagua areas: Northeast (Spiritual Growth and Self-Cultivation, Southeast (Wealth and Abundance), as well as South (Light Within/Fame & Reputation). You can also place a small amethyst cluster in your child study or in the living room. If you are going through an intensely emotional time in your life, you can wear the cooling amethyst in your pocket (a small polished tumbled rock), as well as have a couple in your car.

WHAT FORM AND COLOUR AMETHYST SHOULD I CHOOSE?
The best, most powerful amethyst is the one with the richest, deepest indigo hue. It is also the most expensive one. An amethyst with a depth of clarity (vs inner clouds and imperfections) will also be most effective, as well as beautiful (thus higher in price).

Having said that, you can still find amethyst at very affordable prices if you do your homework and search a bit for that perfect piece.
