AMETHYST [Astrological Signs of Pisces, Virgo, Aquarius,
& Capricorn]
Amethyst is a variety of quartz which occurs [throughout the world] either in
crystalline or massive form. The associated colour ranges from deep purple to pale
lavender. The presence of manganese in clear quartz produces amethyst, while
additional amounts of iron content vary the purple colouration. The deepest amethyst
colours occur in those crystals from Uruguay, Siberia, Africa, and Colorado. The
most common occurrence is a medium purple colour which is found in Brazil.
Double terminated crystals from Vera Cruz occur in the light amethyst colour - this
type is said to provide an immediate Beta state; in addition, it provides for
stimulation of the throat chakra, then providing a calming effect - stimulating the
heart chakra, then providing a calming effect; stroking it brings energy emission;
placement on the arm also provides for tranquility. Double terminated crystals from
the locality of Brandenberg in The Republic of South Africa occur in a very deep
amethyst colour [sometimes with phantoms]. The very pale lavender variety of
amethyst has been found in Oregon; the configuration is quite noticeable due to the
three large and three small sides. Amethyst elestials, sometimes combined with
smokey quartz, have been found in Montana and Brasil; they exhibit the properties
of the elestial [see the QUARTZ section of this book] and those of amethyst and/or
smokey quartz. Plates of flowers consisting of amethyst and quartz have also been
found in Brasil - this configuration includes some clear quartz and brings a lightness
and loving-ness to ones environment.

serenity and composure while inciting fairness in decisions and enhancement in the
ability to manage any and all responsibilities.

reasoning.
Amethyst has been used in conjunction with chlorite to expedite the removal of
unwanted energy implants from ones physical and auric bodies. The combination,
when placed in the energy field of the physical body, provides a connection with

the implant.

system and the endocrine glands to proper and precise performance. It is quite useful

the treatment of arthritis.

"Rutilated" amethyst is a rare form of amethyst which does not contain rutile, but
contains goethite. This formation combines the qualities of the amethyst with the
qualities of goethite [see GOETHITE section in this book]. It should be noted that
goethite inclusions in amethyst are infrequent; but, however unique, the beauty of this
configuration is tantamount, bringing the beauty to the field of the user.
In addition, amethyst is also found in combination with Cacoxenite, to provide a very
powerful energy, and combining the qualities of both minerals.
