Crystals It Works Well With: Ametrine, Citrine, and Moonstone

How It Is Created: Amethyst receives its color beginning at the crystal’s growth. At the first stage, trace amounts of iron are incorporated into the crystal as it starts to grow. After the crystallization starts, gamma rays are emitted by radioactive materials within the host rock and the irradiated iron gives the amethyst its beautiful purple color.

History: One of the earliest references to amethyst is in the Old Testament book of Exodus as it is mentioned that one of the stones in the breastplate of Aaron the High Priest was an amethyst. There is not a clear indication to where the name comes from but it is said that it is derived from the Greek word “amethyst” which means “not drunk”. Despite this, it is associated with the god, Dionysus, because the purple hue of the crystal looks like delicious grape wine. Wine goblets were carved of this stone to prevent drunkenness. There is also a Greek lore involving Dionysus with a young girl named Amethyst. The lore reads:

“Dionysus was angry one day and swore that he would exact his revenge on the next mortal that came by. He created several tigers, informed him of their mission and went his way. As it would happen, a lovely young girl named Amethyst was the next to come by, on her way to pay homage to Artemis and was attacked. Artemis quickly changed the girl into a statue of solid quartz. When Dionysus returned to see what he had wrought, he was overcome with remorse and wept tears of purple wine which flowed over the statue, staining it permanently.”

The color was also in demand throughout history since the color purple is associated with royalty and was worn by royals in Egypt and Europe. In some traditions, Catholic Bishops wear amethyst rings to symbolize their piety and celibacy, and rosaries are still fashioned with this stone.

What It Can Do:

Excellent focal point for meditation and scrying

Used to unlock mysteries and figure out spiritual matters, such as death and rebirth

Helps cleanses, purify and heal the body, spirit, and mind

Balances emotions and prevents nightmares

Useful for spells to help let go of addictions

Uses on the tip of wands for healing and can produce high spiritual energy

Brings a sense of calm and clarity

Helps with decision making

Can open your third eye and connect to the crown chakra

Protects the mind from dark magic

A gateway stone to connecting with the spirit world

Helps with transmitting energies to a specific point

How to Get the Best Out of Amethyst: Wearing it on your person with a bracelet or necklace. Putting amethyst on bare skin invites the stone to release its vibrations directly into the body, amplifying its power.

How to Cleanse and Charge Amethyst:

To cleanse: Leave your Amethyst stone placed under the light of the full Moon for a whole night, that is, about 8 hours

To charge: It can also be recharge via the moon so just leaving it in the moonlight can do double duty.

Crystal Grid:

Protection and Cleansing (Hexagram)

Amethyst

Selenite

Snow Quartz

Hold your crystals in your hands and state your intention for the grid.

Lay the first triangle, placing clearing crystals on each point.

Join up the points and spray the grid with clearing essence.

Lay the light-bringing crystals in an overlocking triangle over the top of the first. Join up the points, starting with the first crystal you laid.

Place your keystone in the center, stating your intention once more.

Giant 50degrees Celsius selenite cave in Mexico

[imaveryevilenby]

Hi I just wanna talk abt interesting rock things for a minute

This is the cave of the crystals in the Naica Mine in Naica, Mexico

Fucking cool as shit yeah?

These are gigantic crystals of selenite located about 1,000ft (300m) below the surface and the largest crystal is estimated to weigh abt 12 tons

Now this cave looks pretty, but it's a literal hellscape

To make the crystals, hydrothermal fluids needed to be heated by a magma chamber right below it, meaning the entire chamber is fucking hot. Temperatures average abt 122°F and the humidity is a constant 100%. These factors mean that a person without proper protection could only last abt 10mins in the cave before dying of the heat or suffocation because the humidity condenses so much fluid in your lungs

So yeah, crystal murder cave

Crystals Indepth: Selenite

Hi my badass bitches and badass witches, It's me Mai. With a random crystal of the day that we are going to learn about. I am just going to pull a card from my lovely Crystal Oracle deck and take a moment to learn about it in depth.

Ironically the first card pulled was Selenite, which is honestly a great place to start especially for those that are just starting out.

What is selenite?

Selenite is a part of the gypsum mineral, you may also know other types of gypsums such as desert rose or satin spar. Selenite is formed from Calcium Sulfate dihydrate and is a monoclinic crystal. The name comes from the middle english word, selenite which derived from the latin word selenites and also from the Greek Word selēnítēs líthos (σεληνίτης λίθ��ς) translating as Moonstone. This crystal can be found in places like Mexico, Russia, Morocco, Greece, Poland, German, France, Australia and the US and other deposits can be found in many different countries. It was originally believed that the crystal would grow and shrink with the phases of the moon.

True selenite usually comes as a translucent stone, and has a 2 on the Mohs scale. Selenite Forms as a result of an accumulation of salt that has been evaporated from saltwater. For millions of years, the water will build up and evaporate and leave behind a layer of salt and then the process repeats. When the water becomes concentrated with a high level of saline solution in a cool environment when the mineral gypsum is present, the gypsum will start to crystallize. Selenite will form from the wet condition that they crystalize in and will often trap particles of sand and other minerals within the crystal. While selenite is often translucent it varies based on location and environment.

Selenite Vs Satin Spar

You might be very aware of satin spar, it's sold in many stores and shops and are usually labeled as selenite, but there is a difference between the two. Both Selenite and Satin spar are both from the Gypsum family, and are basically made with similar compound formulas.

satin spar

Selenite is clear, almost transparent and has a more crystal like structure that you can see in other crystals such as rose quartz. While satin spar is a bit more milky and opaque and is more fibrous in structure. Overall they have similar properties, just one is built a little different from the others

Selenite

Associations

Zodiac: Cancer, Taurus

Element: Water

Planets: Moon

Number: 8

Deities: Luna, Selene

Properties and uses

Selenite can be used for many things such as bringing balance, blessing, cleansing, creativity, inspiration, motivation, protection, and cleansing.

Selenite can be helped to bring awareness, harmony and balance. One can also use it to help keep one focused or to keep away negative spirits. Many believe that selenite has healing abilities as many healers have used selenite by placing it outside of one's home when they were sick to promote healing and Wellness.

It is often very widely known to keep away negative energy and to attract positive energy. It is also why I personally keep a piece of selenite above my door as to leave any negative energy from the day behind and bring positivity into my home.

So now it is also really great for meditating to help one connect with their own spirituality as well. Some people use it to better connect with their personal spirit guide. Selenite can also be used for scrying and can be used to help one connect with their higher self.

Because of the stones' association with the moon it's often that the crystal is used for Moon associated spells. And since ancient times my husband used to channel Divine energy from different planes which is why many use it to direct to energy during their work

Cleansing

Selenite is a crystal but I often don't tell people that they have to cleanse due to the fact that all night is self-cleansing because it brings a positive energy and reflects negative. Because of the chemical compound of selenite however and because it's part of the gypsum family, Selenite is not ideal to cleanse in water if you do choose to cleanse it. and we also for these reasons we do not leave selenite in salt because it can cause the crystal to corrode. Also please remember that Selenite t especially satin Spar is a bit fragile and it's important to Handle With Care as they can be very brittle. If you are to handle selenite in general please make sure to wash your hands after wards so that you do not accidentally cause splinters into your eyes etc.
