Amethyst Clusters - Dark Purple Druze Crystals – These
Natural Amethyst Druze Cluster Specimens are irregular-shaped pieces of the Amethyst Druze
found inside geodes. Originating from Uruguay or Brazil, these Deep Purple Amethyst
Druze Clusters were chosen for their dark purple color, and sit relatively flat, and thus
make great Amethyst specimens.
One of the most popular metaphysical stones, Amethyst is very powerful and protective.
Known as the "stone of sobriety," Amethyst was used in ancient times to
recover from both physical addictions as well as addictive relationships. Amethyst
can encourage inner strength and relieve stress.
The strong healing powers of Amethyst can transmute lower vibrations to higher
frequencies, transforming negative energy to love energy. Dark Purple Amethyst
connects the physical plane with higher realm, making it a good choice when working with
the Third Eye Chakra. Amethyst provides a wonderful peaceful energy for meditations,
and helps with developing intuition and psychic abilities.
Amethyst is a popular purple-colored variety of quartz that contains manganese. It
is the manganese that produces Amethyst's purple color, the iron content in the stone
determines the relative darkness of the purple.
Amethyst usually grows in geodes, which are hollow rocks with crystal-filled interiors.
The surface of the interior is called Druze, which is a term used to describe a natural
layer of crystals formed on the crust of a mineral, like, for example, the inside of an
Amethyst geode. From the outside, Amethyst geodes often look like ordinary rocks,
but inside they contain a wonderland of crystals.
