1. Religious. The mineral is found in ancient Greek stories, in particular about the unrequited love of the god Dionysus. In Christianity, amethyst is a method of changing and purifying the human soul.

According to most legends, amethyst is endowed with enormous magical potential. It is believed that it gives control over people and can doom its owner to eternal loneliness if he is not pure in soul.

Medicinal properties

The main effect of amethyst on the human body is to protect it from intoxication (alcohol and drugs) and loss of sanity. In addition, the stone is capable of:

• Cleanse the liver, kidneys and blood vessels from accumulated toxins.
• Provide a healing effect on the gastrointestinal tract.
• Normalize heart function.
• Restore the functions of the endocrine system.
• Cure colds and protect against viruses.
• Restore mental health.
• Normalize blood pressure.
• Remove excess fluid and relieve swelling.
• Relieve fatigue and relieve muscle tension.
• Improve vision, restore hearing.
• Provides pain relief and relieves headaches caused by migraines.
• Normalize sleep, and also help a person to fully rest even in a short time.

Amethyst easily brings you out of a deep, protracted binge, and also relieves you of other unpleasant addictions, but you must always have it with you, since otherwise the effect will weaken, and the person may again fall under the negative influence.

Both raw crystals, jewelry samples inserted into products, and water infused on a stone for a day have healing powers.

Why does amethyst become cloudy?

Sometimes the stone seems to be covered with a cloudy film and turns pale. The main factor influencing the loss of color brightness is the location of production. Mountain lilac quartz grown in the company of crystal is difficult to discolor. In this regard, Ural specimens are valued. Crystals formed in sedimentary rocks can darken and lose color under the sun. Therefore, when choosing a product with amethyst, you need to pay attention not only to the appearance of the insert, but also to the region of origin.

Magicians say that the black-purple eye stone takes away the negative, therefore it brightens. Gemologists explain the reason for the loss of color by saying that the mineral grew in volcanic rocks.

Semi-precious gems are quite strong and are considered durable. But their crystal lattice is afraid of exposure to high temperatures:

• at a temperature of 200 degrees the crystal turns pale, but after cooling it returns to its tone;
• when heated to 300–500 degrees, the stone becomes colorless forever;
• At a temperature of 600 degrees, amethyst turns into bright yellow citrine.

The amazing shine of the gem may fade or become cloudy over time due to contact with hand and face cream, household chemicals, and sweat.

Talismans and amulets

Amethyst as a talisman ring is suitable for both women and men, but:

1. Ladies are better off giving preference to small, elegant rings with pink, lilac and purple inserts, which should be worn on the ring finger of the left hand.
2. For men, massive rings with dark amethysts (deep purple or black) are more suitable. They need to be worn on the same finger, but on the right hand.

The frame material also matters:

• Gold accumulates energy.
• Silver stimulates change and helps establish contacts.

Amethyst is a stone of spirituality and enlightenment. From time immemorial, clergy have considered him “theirs.” Only true followers of God, who unquestioningly keep their vows and have a pure, immaculate soul, receive the right to wear this gem. That is why it is also called the “apostolic or bishop’s stone.”

Amethyst is one of a dozen gems sewn onto the robe of the high priest of Ancient Judea. Cardinals who have just taken office receive a ring with it from the Pope.

Since the end of the 18th century, the stone has become available to mere mortals. It is especially recommended to have it with you as an amulet:

• For those who want to strengthen their intuition or gain the gift of foresight.
• People who are constantly in conflict and have difficult relationships both in the family and in the work team.
• Those who have an important communication or conversation ahead. The stone will help you see through your interlocutor, as well as be more convincing during a conversation.
• For married couples as a symbol of eternal love or to eliminate misunderstandings between spouses. If their feelings are sincere, then amethyst will settle all disputes, erase grievances and help build warm relationships.
• If a couple has no future, there is deception and violence in the relationship, then the stone will speed up and facilitate the process of breaking up.
• For creative people to reveal all facets of their talent.
• Those who need protection from negativity, hostility and aggression from others.

During major quarrels and conflicts, jewelry with amethyst must be removed, since it attracts all the negative energy, but in particularly acute moments it does not have time to process it and can accidentally share it with the owner. It is better to put the stone aside and later rinse thoroughly under running cold water.

• To a person in love as a gift to the chosen one of the heart. A stone, especially when properly charged, can serve as “Cupid's arrow.” But such gifts are appropriate among single people or couples.
• If an amethyst is given to one of a married couple, then discord may occur in their family, but the donor will not receive anything except the hatred of both spouses.
• A person who has experienced a difficult breakup or the loss of a significant other. The stone will help you survive this misfortune, but will become a symbol of loneliness and unpreparedness for new feelings.

Amethyst products and jewelry

The main use of amethyst is in jewelry making. The cost varies depending on the quality of the stone and its origin. The weight of a gem has the least effect on its price.

Jewelry with artificial amethysts is relatively inexpensive - $5-50. The main cost in this case consists of the value of the metal of the frame.

Products with natural stones are more expensive, for example:

• Silver rings – 75-135 dollars, earrings – 60-200, pendants – 25-125, brooches – 30-100, bracelets – 30-120 dollars.
• Gold bracelets – 400-1100 dollars, necklaces – 330-800, rings – 100-700, earrings 120-1200 dollars.

How to distinguish an original from a fake

Amethyst is a beautiful and valuable variety of quartz, so it is actively counterfeited by those who want to profit from inexperienced buyers. Ordinary glass, plastic, and stones of lower cost, such as fluorite, are used.

Amethyst is also synthesized. Such specimens cannot be called fake, but they are synthetic and do not possess the unique magical and healing abilities of natural gems. Although artificial amethysts are much cheaper and are suitable for absolutely everyone, if the main goal pursued by the buyer is aesthetics.

A gem certificate will first help determine the authenticity of amethysts. It states the origin, the place of extraction, and other important information. If the seller does not have it, then you can safely consider the presented stone to be a fake.

You can distinguish synthetics from natural amethyst by the following characteristics:

1. The color is too bright and uniform.
2. The ideality of the structure, which is visible through a magnifying glass. In natural specimens, some defects are always found - air bubbles, cracks, inclusions, and so on.
3. High transparency is inherent only in artificial stones. Natural stones will be non-uniformly translucent.
4. Change of shade along the edges when immersed in water. For natural gems, the edges will become noticeably lighter after some time in water. Synthetic ones do not have this property.
5. Consistency of shade in light and shadow. The color of natural amethysts is always the same, regardless of the intensity of light. Artificial stones look different.
6. In synthetic specimens, with a general homogeneity of structure, crystal growth lines are visible when viewed through a magnifying glass.

It is even easier to distinguish glass or plastic from a real gem. Firstly, these materials are soft and easily scratched by a needle. Amethysts are hard and will easily scratch glass or plastic. Secondly, imitations quickly heat up in the hand, while minerals remain cool for a long time. Thirdly, fakes weigh much less than gems. Comparing the weight of stone and glass will help identify deception.

History and origin of the stone

Amethyst stone has been valued since ancient times. In the Russian lands it was called bishop's or dumpling. Europeans called the rock the Bacchus stone. Christians in different countries of the world know it as the stone of the Apostle Matthew.

The official name comes from the ancient Greek word “ not drunk ” - it was believed that the mineral protects a person from alcohol. The ancient Romans called the breed blessed.

Amethyst has been known in Russia since ancient times. Previously, the stone was valued more than ruby ​​due to its rare, beautiful color. Ivan Godunov's wife loved the bishop's stone. It adorned her festive headdress.

In Russia, amethyst has been mined since the 17th century. The first deposits were found off the coast of the White Sea. Previously, almost the entire breed was sent for landscaping, decorating temples, and inlaying the bindings of religious books. Rings with this mineral were traditionally worn by priests.

The Legend of the Nymph Ametis

The ancient Greeks believed that purple quartz was created by a nymph. Bacchus, the divine patron of winemakers, was angry at the oblivion and decided to punish the careless admirers, for which he summoned evil tigers and ordered them to tear apart the first person they met. It so happened that she turned out to be a nymph. Ametis, seeing the animals, asked Diana for help, who, taking pity, turned the girl into stone. Bacchus, having learned about what had happened, repented and tried to resurrect her with wine. He was unable to bring the girl back to life, but because of the drink, the color of the mineral turned deep purple.

Another Greek legend tells the story this way: a young nymph fell in love with a shepherd and asked Artemis for help. The young girl caught the eye of Dionysus, who tried to take her by force. Artemis, saving the nymph, turned the petitioner into a beautiful crystal.

How to care for stone

Amethysts, although hard gems, still require careful treatment and meticulous care:

• They should not be dropped or knocked, nor should they be stored together with other jewelry.
• They need to be protected from contact with chemicals, that is, removed for cleaning, washing, and so on.
• You cannot wear jewelry with amethysts in the pool, bathhouse or sauna.

It is not recommended to carry stones openly during the day, in hot weather, or to keep them under the sun or near heat sources. They will lose their color, which will then take a long time to restore if they are placed in a dark place. The best time and place for amethyst is a cool evening and a room with artificial lighting.

• Gems should be cleaned with a mild soap solution and running water, and dried with a soft cloth or aired in a dark, secluded corner.
• To rid the stone of accumulated negativity, you need to give it a long (at least 10 minutes) rinse under a running stream of clean, cool water approximately once every 30 days.

Mineral cleaning

If a stone has faded, lost its transparency and brightness, then it is impossible to restore its original appearance. To prolong its attractiveness, you need to properly care for it. If dirt, dust, or grease stains appear on the surface, it must be cleaned.

It is not recommended to clean expensive and exclusive jewelry yourself. It is better to give the product to jewelers who will clean it with ultrasound.

This is a delicate cleaning method, which results in the removal of dirt from the stone without disturbing its structure. Ultrasonic cleaning effectively removes any degree of contamination while preserving the aesthetic properties of the mineral.

If you are going to clean the stone yourself, then follow the instructions:

1. Use soapy water to clean. To prepare it, add soap shavings (solid soap) or liquid detergent to warm water.
2. Place the product in the solution for half an hour.
3. If there is dirt or grease on the stone, take a brush with soft bristles and rub it gently (without pressing). It is strictly forbidden to use a brush with coarse bristles for this purpose, otherwise the stone will be covered with scratches.
4. Then the decoration is carefully wiped with a damp cloth and polished with velvet until shiny.

If you are planning to clean amethyst in gold yourself, it is important to know that the product cannot be treated with abrasives, as the fragile mineral will be damaged. For this purpose, it is prohibited to use an aqueous solution of ammonia, which is used to wash gold.

Wedding rings with amethyst

For young people who are planning to get married, it can be very difficult to choose wedding rings. They should be beautiful and sophisticated, in perfect harmony with each other and demonstrate their purpose. Many people have a stereotype that wedding rings must be smooth, since the presence of stones on them symbolizes the existence of obstacles in family life.

In reality, such thoughts cannot be attributed to quartz. This mineral brings happiness, health and well-being to its owner, and harmony and warm relationships to the home. For this reason, it is the ideal companion for newlyweds and can gracefully complement the image of a young bride. For example, a white gold ring with an amethyst will look great with a wedding dress, and in the future - with any elements of a basic wardrobe.

How much does an amethyst ring cost?

Girls who like such jewelry often think about how much a gold ring with an amethyst costs, and whether ordinary fashionistas will be able to purchase such an accessory for themselves. In fact, the price range for such products is incredibly wide. Their cost depends on the size of the semi-precious mineral, the presence of other stones, the metal used, the type of jewelry and the brand under whose auspices it was made.

On average, an inexpensive silver ring with a medium-sized amethyst can be purchased in stores in Russia and other countries for 50-60 conventional units. A similar gold jewelry, additionally decorated with cubic zirconia, will cost about 200-250 USD, and if diamonds are added to it, the price of such a ring can reach several thousand conventional units. A set, earrings and a ring with an amethyst, costs even more - a set of gold accessories can be purchased for no less than 300-400 USD.

How to clean amethyst

Over time, semi-precious minerals lose their brightness and transparency, and develop chips and scratches. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to return the perfect original appearance. The best option is to take the jewelry to a jeweler for ultrasonic cleaning. Purple quartz should not be exposed to irradiation as the stones may permanently lose or change color.

Ultrasonic cleaning allows you to safely remove dirt and grease deposits. The mineral itself will remain unharmed.

Cleaning at home involves cleansing both physically and energetically. It is believed that amethyst attracts and accumulates negativity, negative emotions and illnesses. This negatively affects its appearance and transparency. During magical cleansing, the lunar cycles are taken into account, the elements of water and fire, salt, and grass are used.

Running water is recognized as the best cleanser for negativity; it will help get rid of darkening. You need to hold the jewelry under a lukewarm stream of water twice a month to restore the energy structure of the stone.

You can clean amethyst at home, but it is important to choose the right product. For example, a solution of washing powder or salt will only do harm. The chemical reaction from the interaction will disrupt the crystal lattice, then nothing will help the clouded gem.

Areas of use of amethyst

The semi-precious mineral is used in jewelry, lithotherapy, in magical rituals and as a talisman.
