       Amethyst and Transition
       Amethyst has come to be known by many as a healing stone 
       that helps to ease any difficulties in transition in any 
       circumstance. Great healers have found that amethyst 
       works to not only aide a journeying soul but also helps those 
       who's soul yearn to achieve higher levels of spirituality. The 
       crystal is said to transform energies from a lower vibration 
       to a higher vibrational energy. It also transforms energy 
       from a ordinary to a deeper level of consciousness. It has 
       the capacity to awaken spirituality on all levels of social, 
       emotional, intellectual and physical consciousness. 
       Amethyst aides it's carrier (stone, crystal, power jewelry) 
       find more easily a common ground in unsure decisions. 
       The violet color is reminiscent of that of the sky at dusk 
       and the passage of one reality to another. It aides those 
       who have lost a loved one in accepting the passage and 
       healing that death and rebirth bring. 

       Amethyst and Spiritual Healing
       The importance of spiritual awareness is a characteristic 
       known to be brought out and enhanced by amethyst. The 
       acknowledgement of this type of realization is crucial to 
       spiritual healing and meditation. Amethyst also acts as a 
       protector in its reversion of negative energy. It has been 
       said to protect against manipulative situations by helping 
       to provide a more in depth perspective and opening the 
       spirit's eye to higher connectivity with that outside of 
       concrete reason. Not only is amethyst a crucial resource 
       for meditation, it is also a calming and enabling agent in 
       sleep and rest in times of physical and spiritual exhaust. 
       As a healing crystal and in elixir and healing jewelry form, 
       it acts as a balancing and aligning agent for disrupted 
       spiritual energies. 

       Amethyst and Peace
       By many spiritualists revere amethyst as a stone of peace. 
       It has long been a symbol of many religious for peace, 
       purity and unification. It has been noted as containing a 
       peace that was known before birth. It has been used often
        in meditation because of it's ability to help it's carrier to 
       maintain a peaceful serenity. Those who suffer from 
       insomnia, addiction and low self esteem have often been 
       recommended this stone for it's tranquility and protective 
       characteristics. It calms the mind and spiritually awakens 
       those who seek enlightenment. As it pacifies that which is 
       agitated within the self it also allows for acquiring more 
       expansive states of realization. 

       Vibrations of Amethyst 
       As mentioned above it is a characteristic of amethyst to 
       transform energies of low vibrational energy to those of 
       higher potency, it also reacts and is sensitive to certain 
       vibrational numbers. Although multiples of 3 have related 
       characteristics amethyst is said to have the vibrational 
       character of #3, #6 and #33.
