The Secret History of Amethyst

Here’s a tale from Greek mythology that may have slipped past you. Dionysus, god of wine and inebriation, decided one day to pursue the affections of a maiden named Amethystos. Not interested in the drunken deity, Amethystos pulled a clever trick.

She prayed to Artemis to help her stay pure and was promptly transformed into a white stone. A humbled Dionysus splashed some wine over the stone as an offering and the purple amethyst stone was born. However, science tells us that the amethyst stone is actually irradiated quartz. Whether you choose to believe the myth or the reality, it is still one of the most elegant stones you can find.

Amethyst is one of the best stones for healing and the release of negative energy. It helps boost the immune system and can even aid those suffering from addictions. Place one on your bedside table at home for peaceful nights and uncluttered dreams. Or keep a stone or two on your office desk; it will absorb the stress in the room and create a much more relaxed working environment.

Amethyst Jewellery

A great idea is to have peaceful amethyst with you wherever you go – and a great way to do this is with one of our beautiful pendants. Hang the pendant on your headboard at night before you go to sleep to enhance your slumber. Then, when the working day begins, slip it over your neck, either over your shirt or blouse as a decorative piece of jewellery, or secretly tucked inside your top to lie next to your skin.

This style of pendant is available in twelve different crystals and costs just £2.99.

March Birthstones

If you were born in March you have a choice of some lovely birthstones. The two star signs that fall in March are Pisces and Aries. As with all the signs Pisces and Aries have a wide selection of birthstones linked with them so I have picked out the ones that I think are most in touch with the spirit of each star sign. Birthstones make lovely gifts and you can use them in lots of different ways. You can display your birthstone around the house, use them to meditate, as part of crystal healing or just hold one in your hand as something to focus on when you are trying to relax.

Pisces March Birthstones

The first sign in March is Pisces, which runs from February 19th to March 20th. Pisces is symbolised by the Two Fish and ruled by Neptune. The Two Fish come from the Greek myth of how Aphrodite and her son Eros transformed themselves into fish to escape the monster Typhon. Fluorite, turquoise and aquamarine are three of the most beautiful Pisces birthstones. They are associated with the sensitive and imaginative yet prudent spirit of Pisces.

Aries March Birthstones

Aries is the second sign in March but it is actually the first sign of the zodiac. Aries is from March 20th to April 20th. It is symbolised by the Ram and ruled by the planet Mars. The Ram comes from the Greek myths of Phrixus and the Golden Fleece. A golden ram helped Phrixus escape to the land of Colchis. He then sacrificed the ram and its fleece became the famed Golden Fleece that plays a vital role in the legend of Jason and the Argonauts. The Ram was transformed into the constellation of Aries.

February Birthstones

Birthstones make wonderful gifts and people born in February have a choice of some beautiful February birthstones. The two February star signs are Aquarius and Pisces. Both signs have a wide range of stones assigned to them so I have picked out the ones that I feel are best suited to these star signs. If you were born in this month, February birthstones are a great way to get in touch with the true meaning of you sign. They can be used for meditation, crystal healing or simply as a point to focus on when you need to relax.

Aquarius February Birthstones

Aquarius is the first sign in February and it is from January 20th until February 19th. Aquarius is a water sign and it is symbolised by the Water Bearer, often identified with the Greek mythic figure of Ganymede. Three of its birthstones are amethyst, hematite and jade. Each stone has a very different set of attributes but they all represent the free-thinking and sociable nature of Aquarius.

Pisces February Birthstones

The second sign in February is Pisces, which runs from February 19th to March 20th. Pisces is symbolised by the Two Fish and ruled by Neptune. The Two Fish come from the Greek myth of how Aphrodite and her son Eros transformed themselves into fish to escape the monster Typhon. Fluorite, turquoise and aquamarine are three of the most beautiful Pisces birthstones. They are associated with the sensitive and imaginative yet prudent spirit of Pisces.
