![]() ![]() ![]() Some of the most ancient traditions concerning Amethyst date back to the very dawn of human civilization and probably originated long before that! For centuries, gem dealers in the Old World considered Amethyst to be one of only five “cardinal gemstones,” comparable with Diamond, Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald. It is included in virtually every known lapidary, texts which describe gemstones and their powers. Try it in combination with Apophyllite, Chrysocolla, and Prehnite.Īmethyst has one of the oldest and most detailed historical traditions of any healing stone. Brandberg Amethyst contains iron and has been naturally irradiated.īrandberg Amethyst’s energy works well with its “friends” – crystal associates formed in the same geological environment. Amethyst get its color from trace particles of iron, while Smoky Quartz gets its color from being exposed to radiation. If trace minerals are present, then the color changes. If no trace elements are present to change its color, the silic acid becomes Clear Quartz. If no trace elements are present to change its color, the silica acid becomes Clear Quartz. Once the Quartz has formed, a large hollow is often called a “druze,” while a smaller hollow is a “geode.” These druze and geodes can be removed from the host rock and then split open to revel the crystals inside. The bubble becomes a hollow space in the igneous rock and the silica acid becomes Quartz crystals. During this cooling down period, silica acid bubbles shift from being a gas/liquid into a solid compound. Quartz crystals are created when liquid magma from a volcanic eruption cools down and transforms into igneous rocks. Try it in combination with Ametrine, Citrine, Prasiolite, and Rose Quartz. Brandberg Amethyst combines purple Amethyst with gray Smoky Quartz, and colorless Clear Quartz.īrandberg Amethyst’s energy works well with its family – other macrocrystalline Quartz minerals. The macro-crystalline minerals form large well-shaped crystals that are often transparent, while the micro-crystalline only form microscopic crystals and are always opaque. The Quartz family has two main main groups, macr0-crystalline and micro-crystalline. There are six main groups of silicate minerals, and these main groups are further subdivided into secondary subdivisions, such as Quartz and Feldspar. These tetrahedra connect with other chemical structures, in six different ways, to form a wide variety of minerals and rocks. Together, these two elements form a tetrahedra – a shape similar to a pyramid – with a silicon atom in the center and oxygen atoms at each of the three corners. Silicates are minerals which contain the elements silicon (a light gray shiny metal) and oxygen (a colorless gas). In addition to being a major part of the Earth’s crust, silicate minerals have also been found on the moon and in meteorites. Silicate minerals are the largest family of minerals, including more than 25% of all known minerals and 40% of all common minerals. Amethyst is a type of Quartz and a Silicate mineral. ![]()
