Lotus Chevron Amethyst, Rose Quartz Bead Pendulum

Frequently called the “The Stone of Peace”, Amethyst is the most highly valued stone in the quartz group.  It has a Greek etymology from the word “amethystos”, which translates to “not drunken”.  This semiprecious stone that can found anywhere in the world, was often worn in Ancient Greece to fight off the effects of alcohol to prevent drunkenness.  Although purple Amethyst is most commonly known, the quartz will sometimes be a reddish or bluish purple. When it is heat treated it changes from purple to a yellow, orange or brown and is often mistaken for Citrine.

History

In ancient Rome and ancient Greece, Amethyst's power was used to fight off the effects of alcohol due to the belief that drinking with an Amethyst cup or drinking with the quartz in your mouth would keep the drinker sober. The Greeks believed that the quartz was created when the Goddess Diana turned into a white stone after Dionysus called to her, but she did not answer, so he cried into his wine and spilled it onto the stone turning it purple.  The Romans also believed that the stone could ward off the seductions of the Roman god of wine, Bacchus.

The Ancient Egyptians believed that Amethyst protected the wearer from harm.  The Christian Church references the stone many times in the Bible as a representation for piety and celibacy.  The quartz has been favored by royalty and clergy as a symbol for the deity of Christ and is used in the rings of Bishops.  Leonardo Davinci thought that Amethyst could be used to quicken intelligence and rid the mind of evil thought due to the stone’s purity.

 Quartz is a hard crystalline mineral composed of silica and is considered the most powerful healing and energy amplifiers on the planet.  Derived from the German word, Quarz, it is also the second most abundant mineral in Earth’s crust, only behind feldspar. China, Japan and Russia are the world’s primary producers of quartz, but the mineral can be found and is produced in all areas of the world.  There are many different varieties and colors of quartz with distinct energies and special healing properties for each.    

History

Quartz has been a central figure in just about all ancient cultures and civilizations.  The earliest talismans of the stone date back to 75,000 B.C.  Quartz was the most common material used for the mystical substance called maban in Australian Aboriginal Mythology.  This substance is what was believed to give the Shaman’s their magical powers.  The Ancient Greeks and Romans believed that the crystals, which the Greeks called Krystallos, were pieces of frozen ice that were so hard that they would not melt.  The Roman naturalist, Pliny the Elder, was certain that the mineral was ice, but also realized that the quartz revealed prisms of light.  In Europe and the Middle East, quartz was the most common gemstone used for jewelry and hardstone carving. In many cultures today, it is still used for spiritual healing and cultural rituals but due to its abundance, it has also been more commercially used for art, glass making, countertops and home decoration, frequency vibration in crystal oscillators, lasers, microscopes, scientific instruments and a variety of electronic devices.

Dubbed “The Love Stone”, Rose quartz gets its name from its delicate pink color.  The spectrum of color can range from very light to a medium dark rose.  The color is attributed to microscopic inclusions of a pink variety of the mineral dumortierite.  The rose variety of quartz can be found in all areas of the world but is most commonly found in the United States, South Africa, Brazil, Sri Lanka, Madagascar and India.  

History

Rose quartz dates back to early Mesopotamia around 7000 B.C., where it was discovered and used in bead making.  The Assyrians and the Romans were the first to regularly use the stone in jewelry and both believed in the magical powers of the stone.  Rose quartz was used in Ancient Rome to signify ownership and women in Ancient Rome used face masks adorned with Rose quartz to help clear the skin. The Ancient Egyptians also believed that the stone could prevent aging.  The Romans, Egyptians and Greeks all used quartz as potent talismans with the certainty of the stone’s magical powers. 

There were many other times throughout history that there was continued trust in rose quartz’s magical powers.  Medical practitioners would use the stone to create healing potions during the Middle Ages.  In the America’s, rose quartz was known as the love stone.  It was said to balance emotions and heal anger.
