| Description |
The name amethyst derives from the Greek words
meaning "not drunk," for this quartz crystal was
believed to keep the wearer sober no matter how
much wine he might consume. Prized throughout
the ancient world, amethyst was especially popular in
Egypt, Greece, and Rome. Amethyst is useful for
cleansing the body of impurities, for clearing the
mind, and for improving memory. It gives the wearer
pleasant dreams, and is reputed to inspire creativity.
The ancient Egyptians believed that aquamarine
quickened the intellect and made the wearer bath
relaxed and fearless. A variety of the beryl family, the
pale blue/green aquamarine has been likened to a
thousand leagues of sunlit sea imprisoned in a cup;
the Romans esteemed it because its color was that
of a calm sea, a metaphor for peace. According to
Eastern philosophy, the aquamarine is traditionally a
stone of power, one that brings order and balance to
the wearer. It is excellent for meditation and is said to
have a soothing effect on bath the thymus gland and
the heart chakra. Its pale but exquisite color is
flattering bath to the wearer and to the eye of the
beholder.
Named after the lemon for its rich yellow to
orange/brown coloring, citrine is a member of the
quartz family. It was frequently used in Hellenistic
and Roman times for rings, intaglios and other
jewelry. Though its primary source in Antiquity, as
now, was Ceylan, deposits are also known in Spain
and the Ural Mountains. Metaphysical science values
citrine for its transformative energy, which is thought
to raise low vibrations to a higher level, making it
useful for healing and meditation. Citrine is also
considered as a lucky talisman to bring success in all
business ventures. In addition to its curative and
soothing properties, its warm, glowing color brings
pleasure to the senses.
