Amethyst — The Stone of Serenity
Primary Intention: Serenity
Third Eye Chakra · Intuition & Inner Vision
The Stone
Amethyst gets its purple from iron impurities and natural irradiation over millions of years. The ancient Greeks believed it prevented intoxication — the name literally means 'not drunk.' Medieval European soldiers wore amethyst amulets for protection in battle. Leonardo da Vinci wrote that it 'quickens the intelligence.' Today, it's the most recognized healing stone on Earth.
The Intention: Serenity
Clarity isn't about seeing more — it's about seeing what matters. Amethyst is for the woman whose mind won't quiet down. The one who lies awake at 3am replaying conversations. The creative who needs to access deeper thinking. This stone cuts through mental noise like a knife through fog.
Who This Is For
The insomniac. The overthinker who needs a mental off switch. The creative seeking deeper intuition. The student or professional who needs focus. Anyone who wants to trust their inner voice more.
How to Wear Amethyst
The ideal placement for a Third Eye stone. Earrings position Amethyst at the temples — where traditional lithotherapy says intuitive energy enters. Especially effective for meditation and creative focus.
A longer chain (20-24") brings Amethyst to the heart chakra, bridging intuition and emotion. A choker-length keeps it at the throat for clarity of expression. Both placements benefit from direct skin contact.
Left wrist for receiving intuitive insight. In crystal healing tradition, Amethyst on the left side opens the channel between subconscious knowing and conscious awareness. Wear during sleep for vivid dreams.
Middle finger connects to Saturn — discipline, responsibility, and inner wisdom. Amethyst on the middle finger is a classic lithotherapy pairing for mental clarity and spiritual grounding.
What Amethyst Wearers Say
"I've been an insomniac for years. Started wearing amethyst earrings to bed (they're flat enough to sleep in). Placebo or not, I'm sleeping better. The purple catches light beautifully during the day too."
"I meditate every morning and this ring has become part of my practice. I turn it three times as my centering ritual. The stone is deep, rich purple, not the washed-out lavender you see everywhere. Real quality."
"Third amethyst piece I've owned, first one that hasn't turned cloudy or fallen out of its setting. The craftsmanship is genuinely different. My yoga teacher asked where I got it."
Rose Quartz — The Stone of Love
Primary Intention: Love
Heart Chakra · Self-Love & Emotional Openness
The Stone
Rose Quartz gets its pink from microscopic inclusions of a mineral called dumortierite — fibers so tiny they can only be seen with an electron microscope. Some specimens are over 2 billion years old. In Greek myth, Aphrodite's blood stained white quartz pink when she cut herself on a briar rushing to save her lover Adonis. In ancient Egypt, rose quartz face masks were placed in tombs — they believed it prevented aging. The world's largest rose quartz crystal weighs over 600 pounds.
The Intention: Love
Love doesn't start with someone else — it starts with you. Rose Quartz is for the woman who gives love freely but forgets to keep some for herself. The one whose inner voice sounds like her worst critic. The one who hasn't looked in the mirror and smiled in months. This stone is your daily reminder that you deserve the love you keep giving away.
Who This Is For
The woman healing from a breakup. The one learning self-compassion. The caretaker who puts everyone first. The woman whose inner critic is louder than her confidence. Anyone ready to make peace with themselves.
How to Wear Rose Quartz
Rose Quartz near the temples softens the inner critic — in lithotherapy, this placement brings heart energy to the mind. Wear when you need your thoughts to be gentler with yourself.
The most powerful placement in all of crystal healing: Rose Quartz directly over the Heart Chakra. An 18" chain positions the stone exactly at the heart center. Skin contact is essential — this stone needs to feel your warmth.
Left wrist = receiving love (including self-love). In lithotherapy, Rose Quartz on the left pulse point opens the heart meridian that runs through the arm. A daily wearable reminder that you deserve the love you give.
Ring finger (heart meridian) is the classic lithotherapy pairing for Rose Quartz. This finger has a direct energetic channel to the heart in traditional Chinese medicine. Self-love, crystallized.
What Rose Quartz Wearers Say
"After my divorce, I bought this necklace as a promise to myself. to love myself the way I loved him. Every morning I clasp it and it's my reminder. The rose quartz is genuine (took it to a jeweler to check). The gold chain is the perfect length to sit right at the heart."
"I bought one for me and one for my daughter who's struggling with self-esteem. We call them our 'love stones.' The pink is soft and natural, not that dyed bright pink you see on Amazon. Real quality, real stone."
"I'm a therapist and I keep this ring on during sessions. It reminds me to hold space with compassion without absorbing my clients' pain. The stone is beautifully translucent. Easily the most meaningful piece of jewelry I own."
