5 ways to wear amethyst, the February gemstone

- IANS

ACCORDING to the American Gems Society, the February birthstone, amethyst, is a magnificen­t blend of violet and red that may be found all over the world.

This stone is considered to have the power to connect the physical and spiritual realms.

It is associated with the Third Eye chakra, which is located in the centre of the forehead and is thought to be the source of intuition, perception, and awareness.

IANSlife spoke to Milind Mathur, creative director and partner at Kohinoor Jewellers Agra, and Rohan Sharma, managing director of RK Jewellers, who spoke of several amethyst benefits and shared ways to wear them for February babies, “or anyone wishing to improve and strengthen their sixth sense”.

Benefits

● The gemstone is used to enhance your meditation experience and boost your mental openness. As you meditate, use the energy of a little crystal in your hand or keep an amethyst nearby.

● The amethyst can be placed on the side of the bathtub or directly in the bath. Amethyst is considered to boost the advantages of a relaxing bath since it promotes purificati­on and healing throughout the body and mind.

The bath is the finest place to soak up an amethyst’s therapeuti­c energies!

● It was frequently worn by poets, writers and painters since it is also believed to stimulate the imaginatio­n. There are many claims that amethyst aids in focusing, gaining clarity, and accessing one’s creative side.

To increase productivi­ty and concentrat­ion, try having a piece of amethyst gemstone close by while working on your creative projects, or placing an amethyst cluster on your desk at work.

● It is well known for offering solace and tranquilli­ty during trying times. This stone is a lovely present for someone who could be mourning the loss of a loved one, and may aid in calming intense feelings of melancholy.

● Keep the gemstone close if you feel overwhelme­d, nervous, or anxious, to help you feel grounded and elevated. It is known as a natural tranquilis­er. With a macramé crystal necklace, we adore wearing amethyst close to our hearts.

● It can be the ideal statement piece because of its striking colour, which will draw attention to you the moment you walk into a room.

Wearing an amethyst rock with a simple white or black dress can provide a vibrant pop of colour without overwhelmi­ng the look entirely.
