Shells are a part of the water
flow of the Earth itself. They help you to feel more attuned to the ebb and
flow of life (like the waves in the ocean). They also help you to feel more focused and
in-tune with things around you and keep calm during times of emotional stress. Shells are protective - think about the creature that
lives inside shells - they are soft bodied and need these outer surfaces in order to keep
them safe. They create armor against the rest of their world in order to keep them
protected. |

When I first found these lovely
shell beads, they captured my heart. They are a delicate shade of white mixed with
soft pink hues that pop up here and there. Captured together on this bracelet of
Amethyst, it makes for such a lovely piece of jewelry to keep you company during the day
or night. Your bracelet has been hand crafted using a very flexible stand of 49 tiny
wires (Beadalon). I've personally tested this product and was able to wear my
bracelets for an entire summer (day and night) with comfort. The clasp is sterling
silver.
Amethyst is considered to be the stone of
"St. Valentine" as he reputedly wore an Amethyst ring engraved with the image of
Cupid. Ancient Greeks believed it was the stone of sobriety - protecting against
drunkenness. This stone was often used in the creation of goblets to guard against the
properties of wine. Legend tells that Amethysta, a beautiful maiden, attracted the
unwelcome attention of Bacchus (the God of Wine). Diana, the Virgin Goddess of the hunt,
saved Amethysta by turning her into a gleaming gemstone - henceforward all would behave in
a restrained manner in her "presence".
In Egypt, soldiers went into battle with
Amethyst so they would not lose their courage. Amethyst is also considered the stone of
Buddha and is commonly known found in Buddhist prayer beads (found in Tibet). In
Africa is is considered a "rain making" stone and dropped into water by medicine
women and men. Amethyst is used as a protection stone against technological pollutants
(such as nagging telephones and faxes, and eye strain when using the computer). Keep it
near you as you work (but not near the sun or it can fade in the rays).
Amethyst is a powerful psychic enhancer and
if you keep it under your pillow at night it will help bring peace while you dream. It has
a high spiritual vibration that keeps you safe from psychic attacks and turning the
negative energy into positive. If you seek higher states of consciousness and meditation,
this stone may work wonders with you. During meditations Amethyst helps to turn thoughts
away from the mundane into tranquility and deeper understanding. It is a stone of new
ideas. Amethyst also assists in memory and improving motivation - a stone of centering
that dispels negative emotions. It can also help to increase your intuition which may
increase your personal luck. Amethyst eases headaches and releases tension in the wearer.
Amethyst also helps to cleanse the aura. |
