Gem

[Popeye]

Amethyst is the most highly valued stone in the quartz group. The name comes from the Greek meaning ?not drunken?, and Amethyst was worn as an amulet against drunkenness.

Every little helps!

I've worked alot with Gemstone healing and have found great TRUTH in it.It is a very valid form of vibrational medicine.Amethyst vibrates at the spiritual level(purple) and balances the 3rd eye Chakra.That is the energy of looking beyond the veil.Isn't that just what we need to do, to see beyond Alcoholism???It is my favorite Gem and I don't ever leave home without it.
Thanks for the Great Thread, POPS....keep on the good work.PM me if you want to take a look at a workshop handout, that I wrote, on Gemstones.

Very cool thread! O2M I didn't know we shared a birthday month! No wonder we get along so well! Mine's the 18th. Yea, right on the cusp between Aquarius and Pices I am! I have traits of both too. It's weird, I really have traits of both signs. A friend of mine wants to do my chart but I can't seem to get the time of day I was born. Evielou I will PM you about your workshop. I went through a third eye chakra time a while back and for some reason was being drawn to other gems. I wonder why amethyst wasn't coming up for me so much?

Evielou, I think it would be great if you shared more of your knowledge about gemstones here. Not everyone is so into PM-ing (including me, just because I'm a lazy wimp who can never keep the mailbox cleaned up). I'm interested anyway.
