STEP 6.º - The color in science

While even the most open-minded person in search of useful and safe healing alternatives may balk at such claims;, the value of Amethyst as a healing alternative is neither legend nor myth. Rather, it’s an established fact based on a number of studies and conclusions from health experts, including the following:

  • - The Homeopathy School of Colorado studied five groups of students over a five year period, and concluded that Amethyst had a positive healing effect on head pains, nerve involvement of the extremities, and female symptoms.
  • - The Sa Pharmaceutical Journal explored the various healing benefits associated with gemstones such as Amethyst. These included circulation problems, epilepsy, headache, infertility, insomnia, muscle spasms, nervousness, pain, rheumatism and wounds.
  • - Dr. Goupil Sharma noted that Amethyst  can successfully be used for problems in the blood, breathing problems, and problems related to lack of mental clarity or alertness.
  • - Health researcher Geoffrey Keyte noted that Amethyst delivers a number of energetic healing benefits, including improved creativity, relaxation, peace, stability, and even psychic abilities.

Furthermore, it’s well-known that Amethyst generates far infrared radiation and emits negative ions. There are a number of established health benefits and properties associated with far infrared radiation, including improved sleep, improved blood circulation, improved circulation of bodily fluids, improved mood and outlook, improved wound healing, and improved ability to ward off bacteria. Similarly, there are many known health benefits and properties of negative ions, including improved removal of toxic particles from the body and improved respiration.
At the same time, since Amethyst is a quartz, it instantly doubles the size of the human biomagnetic field. That’s why many people claim that they feel better or more energized within seconds of simply standing or sitting near Amethyst – especially if they’re struggling with low energy, depression or a physical ailment.
Indeed, while some methods used in ancient times should be left alone and regarded as “good ideas at the time – but certainly not for our time,” the use of Amethyst is enjoying a renaissance as a valuable, safe, scientifically-validated and 100% medication-free health alternative that’s suitable for people of all ages (and pets, too!).

STEP 5.º - The color in music




The color in music is the theme of this post, while I was searching for this matter I found some musics, even a band, called ''Amethyst'', the english version of ''Ametista''. 
But the only one I think transmites the essence of this color is the music under this text. 
I think it has a mystery to it, something we cannot figure out complete, and that's the beauty of this color, the mysteriousness. 
It's eletronic type of music, by the artist Hudson Mohawke, and it was launched this month, November 2016.

STEP 4.º - The color in the myth

L’Amethyste by Alphonse Mucha,
 from the Precious Stones series, 1900


The name ‘’Amethyst’’ derives from the Greek word ametusthos, meaning ‘’not intoxicated’’, and comes from na ancient legend. The wine god Bacchus, angry over na insult and determined to avenge himself decreed the first person he should meet would be devoured by tigers. The unfortunate mortal happened to be a beautiful maiden named Amethyst on her way to worship at the shrine of Diana. As the ferocious beasts sprang, she sought the protection of the goddess and was saved by being turned into a clear, white crystal. Bacchus, regretting his cruelty, poured the juice of his grapes over the stone as na offering, giving the gem its lovely purble hue. Throughout history the special virtue of Amethyst has been that of preventing drunkenness and overindulgence. Ancient Greeks and Romans routinely studded their goblets with Amethyst believing wine drunk from na Amethyst cup was powerless to intoxicate, and a stone worn on the body, especially at the navel, had a sobering effect, not only for inebriation but in over-zealousness in passion. Catholic bishops also wore Amethyst in a ring to protect from mystical intoxication. Kissing the ring kept others from similar mystical intoxication and kept them grounded in spiritual thought.
