Tumbled Amethyst (Dark Purple) "Extra" - This Dark Purple Tumbled Amethyst is from Brazil. We have given this Tumbled Amethyst our "Extra" rating because of its dark color and its translucency. Many pieces of this Tumbled Amethyst appear gemmy as shown in the pictures.
Amethyst is a popular variety of quartz that contains manganese, which produces Amethyst's purple color. The iron content in the Amethyst 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. From the outside, Amethyst geodes often look like ordinary rocks, but inside they contain a wonderland of crystals.
Popular metaphysically, 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.
