How to create crystal ball pendants part I
Why We Love Amethyst by Gen Wright
Amethyst is credited with having a multitude of attractive spiritual traits. The populace of the Greecian Empire, believed that this stone could help drunkards. Ancient Greecians said that putting on amulets with amethyst or even if one drank from an amethyst cup, the drinker would be immune from the ill effects of alcohol. This gem is thought to have been held in high respect in Egyptian society. Numerous Egyptians of high importance were given final rites with items made from amethyst. The rulers of Egypt exploited amethyst mines in the southern part of the country and channeled the money to wage incursions against enemy kingdoms. With the passage of time, man's beliefs towards amethyst morphed. For the past many decades, purple became associated with royalty in society. Today, this popular gem has become a symbol of humility. Literature does not say what brought about this change, or when exactly it occurred, but historians hypothesize that the change was a result of the mixing of different attitudes that the color purple was thought to symbolize.
This gem is one of several gemstones from the quartz family. From a technician's point of view, this stone is silicon dioxide which coincidentally is the most abundant mineral on the earth's surface. What distinguishes amethyst from other types of SiO2 is the structure, color, and optical behavior of amethyst. Two impurities - iron and manganese - added to the silica building blocks are responsible for the visual appearance of amethyst crystals. The introduction of Manganese gives the stone familiar purple color. The intensity of the color is is significantly impacted by the stone's iron content. Stones with increased iron content will have deeper color.
When selecting stones for costume jewelry designs the clarity of the stone is chosen over the girth of the specimen. Specimens that with irregularities are more often than not less desirable when compared to ones with no flaws. When selecting stones for fashion pieces of jewelry, specimens with a deeper purple color are chosen over lighter colored crystals. Consequently, lighter colored specimens are less expensive than deeply colored ones, and therefore frequently used for fashion jewelry.
Some of the best quality amethyst crystals for jewelry applications originate in Siberia. Specimens from Siberia have a strong purple color and show flashes of red in some light. Siberian amethyst is not commonly found, and therefore generally limited to fine jewelry. Innovative jewelry designers however have utilized a lighter grade of amethyst termed the Rose of France. Only time will tell if demand for light stones will increase the popularity and as a result the price of lighter colored specimens. Amethyst is a beautiful stone that can be used as the focal gemstone in fashion jewelry designs. When incorporated into costume jewelry, an amethyst crystal is often set in 925 silver. The typical color of amethyst and the warmth of Sterling Silver is universally attractive. This stone is often also be used in conjunction with other gems including cultured pearls or topaz.
New Age believers suggest that an amethyst crystal awakens spiritual awareness in oneself. Amethyst is claimed to protect against negative emotions that is within ourself, as well as negativity that originates in those around us. Amethyst varies one's view of things and assists us to think freely. It is thought that this gem can ease negative souls, protects one from bad dreams, helps overcome mental tiredness, and helps a person sleep peacefully. Through history, there have been many who believe in the physical healing properties of amethyst. Fine amethyst powder in solution was used to get relief from skeletal diseases. Amethyst crystal is claimed to cure problems of lungs. There is very little if any hard evidence to support these superstitions.
