Have a very #VioletSaturday! 💜 Photo by @nero.marco "Inside an Amethyst geode. I’m not into the esoterica but some say Amethyst blocks ‘geopathic stress’ ... a term that covers the relationship between the energies of the Earth and people’s well-being. Aside from being a February birthstone, Amethyst was seen as a gem that brought about pleasant dreams in the Middle Ages and its violet colour was often associated with royalty. The ancient Egyptians wore it as an amulet for protection against harm. . The name Amethyst comes from the term ‘amethystos’ .... from Greece... which meant ‘intoxicate’. The ancient Greeks believed you could drink as much wine as you liked without getting drunk... so long as you had an Amethyst in your mouth or on your person at the time. . #amethyst #amethystcrystal #amethystcluster #amethystgeode #gemstones #gemstone #gems #medieval #jewellery #eosm6 #efm28mmmacro #macrophotography #macro #minerals #mineralspecimens #geology #jewels #violet #earth #pretty" #themeltingpot 🌈 #RePost by #THEmPOT with @preview.app (at Sydney, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CODtczhLopj/?igshid=18j4xtbmul34e
