Amethyst Tumbled Stones

A timeless favorite cherished by people since 25,000 BC, these exquisite stones can be found all over the world and have been adored by ancient civilizations such as the Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians. There is actually a Greek myth pertaining to amethyst, that its purplish tones come from Dionysus' tears. Derived from the Greek word "Amethystos," meaning "not intoxicated," the Greeks believed amethyst could protect from intoxication and would keep them from blacking out. Ancient beliefs aside, drunken behavior is often associated with a muddy mind, high emotions and clumsy decisions. That being said, Amethyst can bring crystal clear clarity, deep contemplation, and a sense of control over life. It encourages restful sleep, clears the mind, promotes inner harmony, and reduces stress by cutting down on cortisol production. Because of its purifying properties, it is also known to give the immune system a boost and can help stay fit or fight off illness. Renowned for bringing a sense of calm and clarity to our chaotic world, amethyst has helped many feel grounded, calm, and soothed in almost an uplifting way. Amethyst, centering the emotions, can be a great aide in recovery for those suffering from overwhelming emotions that come with grief, loss and all shades of sadness. Because of its divine spirituality, it’s a great stone for reminding people not to fear the unknown. Amethyst is particularly beneficial for those suffering from migraines, insomnia, illness, grief, anxiety, a fogged mind, or seeking sobriety.
