This stone goes very well with gold. Moreover, for many years, amethyst had the same value as diamonds. Then, a very large quantity of amethysts were discovered in South America, which greatly reduced their value.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In ancient Egypt, this stone was used to carve seals and amulets. The soldiers wore them so as not to be afraid. She also had the power to make rain fall during droughts.\u003cbr\u003e But the name of this fine stone is of Greek origin. Methystos means drunkenness and the prefix “a” indicates suppression. Amethyst is therefore linked to sobriety. Several legends tell of the origin of amethyst, but the best known are those of Amethystos.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn Greek mythology, Dionysus, god of wine and drunkenness, is a god renowned for his excess and madness. One day, he fell madly in love with Amethystos, a young nymph. He strongly desired her and began to court her. But Amethystos wanted to remain chaste and refused Dionysus' advances. Amethystos turned to Artemis, goddess of the hunt, for help. Artemis decided to protect her and transformed her into a white crystal statue. Mad with rage and humiliation, Dionysus threw wine on the precious statue and it began to take on an intense and pure purple color. \u003cbr\u003eAnother version of this legend says that Dionysus, following several humiliations at the hands of humans, decided to take revenge. He threw tigers at humans. The first meeting was with Amethystos, a beautiful and gentle young woman. Then Artemis, goddess of the hunt, transformed her into a statue of white quartz in order to protect her from the wrath of Dionysus. Regretting his outburst of violence, he poured wine on the statue as a sign of offering. The statue then took on a magnificent purple hue.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn Christianity, amethyst was the symbol of purity and humility, because Joseph gave one to Mary. This stone also represents love. Indeed, Saint Valentine, the priest at the origin of the lovers' festival, always wore a magnificent amethyst around his neck. Among Christians, amethyst also represents the symbol of fidelity. Indeed, the Vatican bishops all wear a ring with an amethyst, signifying their dedication to the church.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e At the time of the Renaissance, Leonardo da Vinci used it to suppress his negative thoughts and allow him to boost his creative intelligence. He noted this use of amethyst in one of his precious notebooks. \u003cbr\u003eIn the past, among nobles, amethyst chalices were used to combat attempted poisoning at banquets. Or it happened that the wine was poured into amethyst cups. This accentuated the color of the wine and allowed the guest to replace the wine with water as the guest became drunk. This explanation helps to understand why amethyst is known to fight against drunkenness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The main deposits are located in Brazil, Bolivia, Uruguay, Malawi, Madagascar, Australia and Zambia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In Lithotherapy, amethyst is renowned for its soothing qualities by stimulating positive energies. Nowadays, stress, anxiety and fear are often felt emotions. In order to fight against their negative waves, wearing an amethyst helps calm the mind. It provides positive energy and develops creativity, imagination and concentration.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAnother quality of amethyst is to relieve the pain of the loss of a loved one, whether in the event of death or simply a breakup. It helps one accept separation and provides the strength needed to continue moving forward in life. It calms anger and sadness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e For people in a state of intense sadness or prone to constantly rehashing the same thoughts, this stone provides calm to their mind and stops all these negative ideas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Amethyst is ideal for meditation and causes better open-mindedness. It allows you to have quality sleep, promotes dreams, intuition and develops positive energy. It is a stone suitable for people who have to make big decisions, negotiate or speak in public. It is ideal for developing creation and inventiveness.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIt is also known to have benefits for people suffering from addictions such as alcoholism and smoking.

It is a red variety of chalcedony. It owes its beautiful color to inclusions of hematite, a natural iron oxide. The intensity of its color, red to orange, is linked to its iron concentration.\u003cbr\u003e It is also composed of aluminum oxide and silica. This red quartz comes from low temperature volcanic rocks. The vermilion red color is the most popular, so it is often obtained by heating the stone or exposing it to the sun for a long time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Carnelian is very translucent, even opaque, and its pleochroism is low (ability to see light pass through the stone and show various colors). It has a hardness of between 6 and 7 on the Mohs scale.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eSeveral hypotheses are put forward concerning the etymology of carnelian. Some suppose that this name comes from the dogwood, a shrub growing in the eastern Mediterranean countries. It produces a fruit with a beautiful red color relatively identical to that of carnelian. The origin of the name cornouille comes from the Latin “corneolus”.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Others claim that this name comes from the Latin “carne” meaning meat. But in both cases, carnelian owes its name because of its beautiful orange-red color. From the 16th century, the stone was definitively named “carnelian”.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eCarnelian has been used for millennia. At the beginning of the 20th century, Leonard Woolley, a British archaeologist, discovered the tomb of Puabi during his excavations. He is a personality of great importance from the Sumerian city of Ur during the First Dynasty of Uruk between 2750 and 2550 BC. She is covered with magnificent necklaces and a headdress of gold, including carnelians and lapis lazuli. The latter is exhibited in Pennsylvania at the Museum of Archeology. In the neighboring tomb, the standard of Ur was discovered in the form of a small ivory chest decorated with red Indian carnelian. This small chest reveals the history of this civilization. It is, for its part, exhibited at the British Museum in London.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAlso around 2,700 BC, this orange stone appeared in ancient Egypt. It was given as an offering to Isis, mythical queen and funerary goddess, in order to accompany the dead on their journey to the afterlife. Carnelian also served as a stone of magnificence and ornament, for protection. It is identified on the headdresses of the pharaohs and on numerous talismans. Furthermore, this orange-red stone, associated with the colors of the sun, spiritually represents the Sun god. It was also found on paintings or used as natural medicine.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eUnlike the Egyptians, the Greeks and Romans used this stone only for the manufacture of jewelry and seals and did not attribute any curative power to it. Gods and symbols of luck were carved into the red stone. Pliny the Elder, a Roman naturalist from the 1st century AD, described it in his Natural History encyclopedia. He even distinguishes between the male stones, which are very red, and the female stones, which are more orange-yellow.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In the Middle Ages, carnelian was given healing powers. At that time, battles raged, carnelian was supposed to give courage to warriors and protect them from bleeding.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In China, the Chinese accentuate the red color of carnelian by including copper oxide, then use it to glaze their fine porcelain. Carnelian was crushed and transformed into pigment for decorating art objects.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn France, during the Renaissance, carnelian was a stone that attracted many artists. Then from the 17th century, Dutch maritime trade brought back a large number of carnelians coming straight from the Orient. Little by little, they spread into the manufacture of jewelry, ornamental objects and goldsmithing. This trade makes them lose their rarity and causes a drop in prices.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The main deposits are located in Brazil, Madagascar, Botswana, etc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In lithotherapy, carnelian is a stone of serenity and calming. It has the ability to strengthen self-confidence and promotes spontaneity. It develops the joy of living and encourages you to enjoy every moment. \u003cbr\u003eAssociated with recklessness since Antiquity, this stone restores energy, vitality, courage and regulates excessive egos. It facilitates public speaking and provides beautiful eloquence. It breeds confidence, but not complacency.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Carnelian encourages the fight against states of intense sadness. In addition, it calms anger, jealousy, and resentment. It allows us to overcome certain traumas linked to the past and becomes a stone of resilience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In people who are too sensitive, this stone can make them stronger, give them more confidence and help them assert themselves. It provides creativity and promotes concentration by channeling overly agitated thoughts.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIt is a stone known to bring joy of life, good humor, happiness and enthusiasm. Its vibrant color radiates well-being which allows you to manage complicated situations gently. Unlike most red stones, carnelian regulates excess energy instead of increasing it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A true lucky charm, carnelian diffuses its protection throughout the home and promotes relationships by maintaining a soft and serene atmosphere. It encourages understanding between people. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"La Boite à Cailloux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55505487528284,"sku":"FLAC-SERAPH-01","price":21.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0808\/8577\/6732\/files\/flacon-verre-seraphinite-russie-aa-mini-pierre-roulee-xxs-2907050.jpg?v=1779712814"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.laboiteacailloux.com\/en\/collections\/pierres-roulees-seraphinite.oembed","provider":"La Boite à Cailloux","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
