Amethyst geodes are perhaps one of the most versatile and popular healing stones among spiritualists. Well-known for their striking purple color, amethysts possess many beneficial properties. Even though amethyst has been around for hundreds of years, the process of their formation still holds a few secrets. Scientists are still not entirely certain how these beautiful geodes come to be; however, most believe that these stones formed deep within the Earth’s crust over 100 million years ago.
As with most crystals, amethyst forms as a result of repeated heating, cooling, and pressure over thousands of years. Depending on the type of additional minerals found in the water, the geode may even form layers of different crystals. Of course, the final layer of these crystals is generally amethyst, leading to the vibrant and dazzling purple gems we all know and love.
Amethyst geodes also possess strong cleansing properties. This allows us to cleanse our own mind and spirit as well as our environment of any negative energies, forming a protective barrier around our body and aura. By creating a chain of connection with the Divine and inducing a deep meditative state, amethyst enables us to further tap into our intuitive and psychic abilities.
Amethyst can provide a deep sense of calm and wellbeing to its user, which can be especially comforting during times of grief or sorrow. The relief of stress and anxiety can also free us of any negative emotional charges, allowing for the rekindling of creativity, inspiration, or passion.
