Precious Stone Amethyst Earring
Amethyst was used as a gemstone
by the ancient Egyptians and was largely employed in antiquity
for intaglios. Beads of amethyst are found in
Anglo-Saxon graves in England. It is a widely distributed mineral,
but fine, clear specimens that are suitable for cutting as ornamental
stones are confined to comparatively few localities.
Healing ability: Amethyst magnifies
psychic abilities and even right-brain activity. It strengthens
immunity, while energizing and also purifying the blood. Amethyst
relieves you from headaches, improves blood sugar imbalance.
Mystical power: The Greek work
"amethysts" basically could be translated
as "not drunken” expresses the ancient folk belief
that the stone protects its owner against drunkenness.
As the myth goes, drinking wine from an Amethyst goblet
will prevent one from becoming inebriated. The gemstone
still then symbolizes sobriety.
