Ametist predstavlja najpopularniju varijantu prirodno obojenog kvarca. Zbog svoje magične ljubičaste boje bio je cenjen od davnina, ali poreklo njegove boje do današnjeg dana nije u potpunosti objašnjeno. Generalno je prihvaćeno da najverovatnije njegova ljubičasta boja potiče od prisustva jona gvožđa (Fe) u kristalnoj rešetki kvarca. Pri tome se stvaraju takozvani obojeni centri. Ametist je moguće stvoriti veštački u laboratoriji ako se prilikom rasta kristala kvarca dodaju joni gvožđa i nakon toga se izvrši ozračavanje gama ili X zracima. Samo prisustvo Fe nije dovoljno, jer prirodni kvarc sadrži određenu količinu gvožđa. Neophodno je da zračenje visoke energije oslobodi jedan elektron iz okoline Fe, i pri tome dovede do neophodnog uslova da se stvori obojeni centar da bi se pojavila karakteristična boja ametista. Ovaj oslobođeni elektron biva zarobljen negde u kristalu i u normalnim uslovima ne igra nikakvu ulogu. Ali, ukoliko bi mu se dodala dovoljna količina energije, on bi mogao da se vrati nazad u svoje prvobitno stanje time menjajući ljubičastu boju ametista. Ovaj dodatak energije može da se desi, na primer zagrevanjem ametista na temperaturama većim od 300 stepeni, pri čemu ametist gubi ljubičastu boju i može da poprimi ili žutu boju – citrin, ili zelenu – ozelenjeni ametist. Ovakvo izbeljavanje ametista u principu bi moglo doći i prekomernim izlaganjem svetlu, iako je ametist relativno stabilan na svetlost.

Prema grčkoj legendi, kada je bog Bahus imao loš dan, odlučio je da prva osoba koju sretne sa svojom pratnjom od tigrova bude rastrgnuta. Ta nesrećna individua bila je devojka Ametist, koja je išla u Hram boginje Meseca, Dijane, na službu. Kada su tigrovi skočili na nju, ona je prizvala Ime Boginje i bila je odmah pretvorena u beli kamen. Ovo je čudo popravilo Bahusu raspoloženje. U znak pokajanja, on je izlio vino preko kamena, što mu je dalo predivnu ljubičastu boju.

Ova priča je izvor verovanja da ametist deluje protiv pijanosti. Ako se pije iz čase napravljene od ametista, organizam je zaštićen od toksinacije. Ametist štiti od loših snova. Međutim ametist je pre svega kamen duha. To je jedan od najefektivnijih kristala koji se mogu koristiti u meditaciji, zbog njegovih kvaliteta da relaksira um i sposobnosti da odvoji čoveka od briga svakodnevnog života i da ga prenese u jednu drugu mnogo širu realnost.

Treba ga kombinovati sa rozenkvarcom i gorskim kristalom, zato što ametist smiruje um, rozenkvarc smiruje srce i leči emocionalne rane, gorski kristal pojačava energiju oba ova kristala dodatno. Sva tri zajedno uravnotežiće srce, um i dušu.

Citrin

Citrin je kamen uspeha i izobilja. Parira egu i smanjuje njegov uticaj. Donosi sreću, optimizam. Citrin pomaže da se uspostavi veza sa Duhom. To je simbol nade, mladosti, zdravlja i vernosti.

Citrin je svetlo žute do zlatno smeđe boje, staklasto sjajan kamen.

Ima ga u Brazilu, Madagaskaru, Rusiji, SAD. Redak je.

Ime citrina potiče od francuske reči citron što znači limun. Citrin je zlatno-žuti kamen koji je povezan sa trećom čakrom, samopoštovanjem, pravilnom upotrebom lične moći i obiljem. Samopoštovanje čini osobu sposobnom da izražava ličnu snagu na razuman način. Sa druge strane, sposobnost izražavanja lične snage vodi do obilja, i to ne isključivo materijalnog obilja. Potstiče kreativnost.

 Neizbalansirana treća čakra vodi do pohlepe, manipulacije i ostalih zloupotreba volje. Ova se čakra može izbalansirati vođstvom sedme čakre, koja vlada našim osećajem povezanosti sa svime što postoji. Pošto je zlatna boja povezana sa suncem, citrin može da pomogne u ovom balansiranju.

Žuta boja citrina je boja logike i intelekta. To je jedan od samo dva minerala na planeti Zemlji koji ne sadrže ili akumuliraju negativne energije, već ih odbijaju i transformišu u pozitivne. Nikada nećete morati da čistite citrin jer on ne sadrži nikakvu negativnost. Citrin energizira, promoviše toplotu, udobnosti i energiju. Pomaže u stvarima svakodnevnog života. Otvara um novim mislima, pojačava samopoštovanje.

Nosite citrin ako imate puno materijalnih bogatstava da bi vas sprečio da postanete pohlepni i vezani za materijalne stvari.

Ovaj kamen je dobar za sticanje bogatstva, prosperitet i uspeh u karijeri. Uči vas kako da se obogatite i podržava vaš uspeh u biznisu. Citrin se u Americi zove kamen kojota. Prema legendi kojot je onaj koji postavlja probleme i tera ljude da uče uprkos tome što im se ne da da to rade. To je kamen za preživljavanje, donosi hrabrost, mudrost za donošenje dobrih odluka.

Citrin uravnotežava probavu, poremećaj ishrane, alergije, dijabetes. Čisti pankreas, slezinu, jetru, reguliše proizvodnju insulina, sa karneolom je izvrstan u lečenju šećerne bolesti, jača bubrege, infekcije bubrega i bešike, urinarne probleme, reguliše cirkulaciju krvi, detoksinaciju krvi, anemiju. Dobar je za astmu.

Sređuje emocionalne traume, potstiče dobro raspoloženje, jača imunološki sistem i metabolizam. Sprečava noćne more, donosi miran san.

I konačno jedan spiritualni aksiom. Najbolji način da se postigne i osigura uspeh je da se čini za druge, tako Univerzum vidi da ste odgovorni u vezi sa finansijama i resursima i zato će održati tok energije i ekonomije u delovanju i sve više i više novca će prirodno teći ka vama.

Citrin je vrlo efikasan pročišćivač, nosi moć Sunca, veoma je kreativan. Raspršuje i uzemljuje negativnu energiju. Upozorava na potrebu zaštite. Čisti sve čakre. Najbolji je za čakru Solarnog Pleksusa kao i svi drugi žuti kristali. Pročišćava astralno i mentalno telo, popravlja samopouzdanje. Pomaže pri pretvaranju misli i osećanja u reči. Zaustavlja bes, smanjuje strah od odgovornosti. Reverzibilno deluje na degenerativne bolesti, otklanja celulit.

Citrin se ne čisti, ne sme da se stavlja u dodir sa gorskim kristalom. Bledi na Suncu.

Stone of Rulers. It was particularly thought to bring wisdom, truth and insight.

Lapis Lazuli (11) - Spiritual, intuition Lapis lazuli is a combination of lazurite and calcite. Sometimes pyrite is also present.

Lapis lazuli, or lapis as it's often simply called, is a crystal that's oozing in spiritual energy. In a sense, it's a timeless stone, which symbolises our spiritual selves at their most expansive and wide open state, where we are able to learn anything we desire to know. As a tool, lapis lazuli can act as a reminder to us that the subtle spiritual realms are there and open to connection and exploration.

The energy of the stone reminds us that we really do hold the answers to anything we want to know deep inside ourselves. If you want to know about the meaning of life, or what a certain symbol means, or how to be more intuitive, these answers are really inside you. A teacher may help you sometimes, but ultimately we are the ones who take action.

Sometimes, when learning, it is easy to get attached to a certain teacher or set of teachings. Lapis teaches that that can be fine, but we also need to remain open so that

other possibilities can enter when needed. Wearing lapis can act as a signal that you're opening yourself up to the power of divine inspiration.
