“Fine amethysts are featured in the British Crown Jewels and were also a favorite of Catherine the Great and Egyptian royalty,” according to the International Colored Gemstone Association.

“Leonardo Da Vinci wrote that amethyst was able to dissipate evil thoughts and quicken the intelligence,” according to the ICGA website.

“Because amethyst was thought to encourage celibacy and symbolize piety, amethyst was very important in the ornamentation of Catholic and other churches in the Middle Ages.

Amethyst is said to enhance spirituality, raise the vibrational level of the holder, cleanse the astral, etheric and physical bodies, and produce a peaceful, tranquil state of mind.

From personal experience during meditation with Danburite and amethyst crystal wands and small clusters, I can tell you that much depends upon intent. When my intent has been to quiet the mind, holding one of these crystals or placing it on the altar or table nearby during meditation reduces mental chatter to virtually nothing, while stimulating the crown chakra, the third eye & the eighth chakra above the crown, creating a feeling of warmth & depth, a buzzing and a tingling on the crown of the head and between the eyebrows. I experienced a physical awareness of a tremendous flows of energy carried on the inbreath and outbreath from the eighth chakra and higher, spiritual sources, through these vital centers and deep into the body.

Concentration on the inner light, and inner meditative visualizations were greatly enhanced, and the ability to connect to inner spiritual guidance, Guides and Teachers increased markedly.

This crystal cluster has been cleaned with Universal Life Force Energy, and given an energy attunement using Reiki, a Japanese technique of energy healing, so it will continue to receive and transmit Universal Life Force Energy direct from the Source of Creation. It is ready for you to program according to your own needs and desires.

Use this powerful crystal cluster with loving wisdom and respect its long journey in the Earth that has lasted for many long historical cycles. Accepting this crystal into your life is a responsibility as well as a delight. This crystal is not a toy, but rather a powerful tool, a love-gift from the Divine Mother, and should be treated with the utmost respect and appreciation.

Both danburite and amethyst can fade when exposed to direct sunlight over long periods of time. We recommend using moonlight, Reiki, prayer, and Universal Life Force Energy to clean and charge this pendant periodically if you like.
