Mineral Information
I have been a rock collector (rock hound) since I was a little girl and to this day I am still out rock hunting as much as I can. I use my love for rocks to create the unique and natural jewelry designs of Hamata Creations. I have recently teamed up with Bob Deschamp (Diamond Rock Gardens). We have spent countless hours mining specimens from the great North Western Ontario. We are now offering rocks and mineral specimens of a variety of species and sizes. Every mineral has unique structure, physical appearance and healing properties.
Amethyst (varying shades of purple, red and black)
Amethyst is a purple variety of quartz (SiO2) and owes its violet colour to irradiation, iron impurities and the presence of trace elements, which result in complex crystal lattice substitutions. The hardness of the mineral is the same as quartz. The word amethyst comes from the Greek meaning "without drunkenness" and amethyst is believed to protect one from poison.
Healing Properties
Amethyst is used as a dream stone and to help insomnia. Place an amethyst under your pillow to bring about pleasant dreams, or rub it across your forehead to offer relief from a headache. Amethyst is also used for problems in the blood and in breathing problems. Amethyst crystal clusters are used to keep the air and life force in the home clean and positive. Amethyst clusters, points or several tumbled Amethysts placed in a window that receives sun most of the day are very beneficial to use in healing and to heal negativity in the home. Place Amethyst clusters, points or several tumbled Amethysts in moonlight and everyone in the home will be feeling calmer. Using an Amethyst as a meditation focus will increase the positive spiritual feelings. Amethyst helps overcome fears and cravings. It also helps relieve headaches[1].
