Guest guest Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 I am very sorry to hear of your loss. but glad that she had a pretty crystal with her to remind her of you in her last days. I love amethyst as well. if it's ion a bracelet, ring or necklace then the stone doesn't have to touch the skin? what is the name of someof your books, this is very interesting. Stuck [lists] Re: amethysts Well, it is coming up to my bed-time but I don't want to keep you in suspense! Many years ago I bought my mother a beautiful amethyst ring. I know that amethyst isn't that expensive - not like diamonds and rubies - but it was in such a beautiful setting and was held in place by about six 'claws'. My mother must have worn that ring for something like 25 years. Over the years my sister and I noticed that the stone was slowly losing its colour. I have read since that this can happen when its in the sunlight too often, but I have a very different idea about it now. My dear mother was in hospital at one point and she insisted on keeping her ring on as she felt it was very special to her. One day when we visited her, we noticed that the amethyst (which was by now totally clear and colourless)had started to lift up from its setting and had broken three of the 'claws' in doing so. Only one side had lifted up so you can imagine it was at a very tilted angle. We both thought this was very odd and tried to push it back into its setting. We both tried several times with all our might but to no avail. It seemed as though it was just trying to get out. I suggested to my sister (who was used to my 'funny' ideas by then) that maybe it knew it had used up all its power and decided it was time to be replaced. She looked at me kinda funny and we left it at that. As a matter of interest, my mother had breast cancer twice during her life but survived each time and I now believe it was this that used up the power in the stone. I could be wrong of course! A few days later, my sister found herself at one of these holistic fairs and saw an amethyst bracelet on one of the stalls there - the kind just on elastic - and decided to buy it for Mum - just in case I might be right! When I saw her at the hospital again, she produced the bracelet and put it on Mum's wrist. To our surprise, by the time we left the hospital, the amethyst stone in the ring had settled back down again quite happily. Now I've seen some spooky things in my life but this one quite spooked me out. It really must have been that all its power had been used up - and it was as though the stone had a mind of its own - but who's to know it hasn't! The second amethyst story was very recent and brings sad memories to me. My best friend, Peta, had been rushed into hospital and she was in a coma for 7 days. I was devastated but, knowing the power of the amethyst,I promptly got her an amethyst bracelet to wear. She was out of the coma by the time she got to wear it but wear it she did and told me she'd never take it off, which she didn't. I live about 150 miles away from Peta so getting to see her regularly was very difficult. I was later to discover that she had cancer of the bowel but her doctor assured her that they could fix it. I looked up 'amethyst' in my crystal book to make sure I'd given her the right one but noticed that cancer wasn't on its list for cures (even though I believed it had helped my mother) so I then delved into the book again to find a more relevant crystal I could get for her. When I spoke to her on the telephone next she asked me to send her more amethyst and when I told her that it wasn't really the right one and that I'd send her something else, she said 'Oh yes it is - its absolutely the right one'. I had a big natural chunk at home and I wrapped it up with a letter to post to her the next day. Peta died before I could get to the post office. Days later, I was reading my crystal book again and discovered that amethyst is the crystal to use to help someone through their death. Somehow she must have known this.

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 Hi Stuck No, it doesn't have to touch your skin. Both the stones in my necklace and bracelet are silver-mounted and the stone doesn't touch at all. There are many stores in the UK (but don't know where you are) that sell gemstones. You can also get them at these spiritual type fairs. Otherwise they are easy to buy on the internet and eBay usually have many gemstones for sale, including Moonstone. Good luck - dry eyes are the pits! > > does the stone have to touch your skin? i have dry eyes as well and I hate taking these stupid drops. but wondering if I could wear it as a ring instead of a necklace since I already wear my kid charms and it wouldn't look right together? where would I get one? > Stuck > [lists] Re: Amethysts > > > Hi > I have several amethyst clusters around my home for protection and > several large rose quartz peices.
