Healing properties of Amethyst

Amethyst is a gemstone often worn by healers, as it has the power to focus energy. A healer will usually wear several pieces of jewelry with amethysts set in silver, especially an amethyst necklace. The person to be healed will have an Amethyst to hold while the healing is being done. The healer will place another piece of Amethyst on the area of the body in need of healing, the heart or lungs usually.

Amethyst is used for problems in the blood and in breathing problems. Amethyst crystal clusters are used to keep the air and life force in the home clean and positive.

Gemstones for 2012

Lapis Lazuli

Lapis Lazuli is an ancient gemstone. In some ancient cultures it was considered more valuable than gold. Before the discovery of chemical dyes in the 19th century lapis was pulverized and used as a dye for material and paint. It was very expensive. Painters had to make there own colors and lapis was what they used to get blue. There is not much blue used in Rembrandt's paintings because he was so poor. The ancient Egyptians used Lapis Lazuli in jewelry as a symbol of Truth. I plan to use some Lapis Lazuli in my new jewelry for 2012.

Here is a necklace I made this year using Lapis Lazuli chips.
