AMETHYST
It is a stone of the spirit and spirituality. It is also a crystal of protection, selflessness, nobleness, spiritual consciousness, meditativeness, balance and inner peace. One very important feature of Amethyst is to serve as a stone of transfiguration and transformation, bringing harmony and peace wherever needed. Amethyst is the birthstone of February and it is associated with the 6th Chakra or Brow, also Third Eye. An Amethyst ring worn on the right hand of the Bishops' is a common symbol of advanced spirituality. It is also said to improve concentration, memory & other mental abilities.
Known as a “Gem of Fire” by ancient cultures, Amethyst has been greatly sought after throughout history and was at times valued as highly as a Diamond. It is found in a color range from reddish purple to deep violet to light lilac and lavender. The name derives from the Greek word for “not intoxicated” and was once believed to prevent drunkenness and overindulgence.
SEA URCHIN SPINES
Sea Urchins are globetrotters, existing in oceans all over the world, usually along coastlines. They are kissing cousins to the Sand Dollar and Sea Biscuits. The name Urchin derives from an old term for Hedgehog, and the resemblance is notable. Where the hedgehog moves into a ball with its spines outward, the Urchin has movable spines. With the sphere of the Sea Urchin having a central axis around which the spikes dance, the visual is lovely, akin to a swirl of stars in heavenly seas. Because of such beauty, many mystics connect the Sea Urchin with the Virginal Goddess and fertility, and the water's current granting refreshed youth and healing, especially for one's soul. The Sea Urchin's Spines represent a strong spirit, wisdom, harmony, and healing. There are approximately 950 different species of sea urchins of many varied colors and patterns but what they all share is for such a small creature there is great power here.
