Discrete, humble, wise and strong at the same time, amethyst is the stone of druids and bishops. Its name comes from the Greek "amethustos", and helps fight all intoxications: tobacco, coffee, alcohol, drug, hence its name a-not methustos-intoxicated (not drunken). I can be found in Brazil, Ural, Russia and Uruguay. From deep purple to lilac, it can have pinkish tones and is called Rose de France amethyst. It brings calm and inner peace, it is the stone of meditation and brings a high level of deep consciousness. Slipped under your pillow, it protects against nightmares and allows a restful sleep. It calms headaches caused by nervous tension, relaxes shoulders muscles and the nape of the neck, improves blood circulation and cauterization of burns. It is an invaluable help for healthy liver and eyes, and by decreasing the level uric acid, it alleviates acute gout. The hands of healers are purified at my contact. You can come and admire amethyst in our store at Saint-Girons. You will discover a splendid geode of 500 kilos with white calcite incrustations, a true wonder of nature.
