Green Amethyst Pendant

Origin: India

This is an enhanced gemstone. The presence of green amethyst in nature is rare, but the natural process by which it forms can be simulated.

In nature, all forms of Amethyst start as clear Quartz with impurities of iron. Through long and gradual exposure to natural radiation, the iron impurities cause the Quartz to appear purple (Amethyst). Subsequent exposure to heat through volcanic activity further changes the oxidation state of the iron impurities, usually resulting in a colour change to either brown or yellow (giving rise to citrine). But in rare cases where the iron impurities are specifically in the form of ferrous iron (Fe2+), the colour will change from purple to green.

Green Amethyst prepares our heart to be the centre of our consciousness. It helps us to be a conduit for the expression of the Divine in the physical world.

When we are caught up in the trappings of the physical world, Green Amethyst allows reconnection with the subtler, higher energies. When we are ungrounded, it works the other way by reestablishing a connection with the Earth and assisting us to be grounded.

Green Amethyst instills self-confidence and a sense of appreciation and approval.
