What stone brings loneliness?

Amethyst is a quartz mineral with a deep purple-pink color. It belongs to the semi-precious crystals, but due to its beauty it can be compared in popularity with any precious stone. This is the most expensive quartz mineral existing in the world.

Characteristics and location of production

What does untreated amethyst look like? These are crystals of different sizes, having an elongated shape with six sides. The most common mineral is purple, the shade of which can be completely different. The stones can be slightly blue, or they can sparkle with a deep dark, almost black color. Whatever the color of amethyst, it is distinguished by a special brilliance that appears in sunlight; in this regard, a quartz crystal can compete even with a diamond. Scientists to this day argue about where the mineral gets its unique color. Some believe that this is the result of the presence of elements such as iron, cobalt and manganese. Others argue that the color is due to the presence of organic pigments. Quartz minerals change color depending on environmental conditions. Amethyst crystal does not like high temperatures. At temperatures above 200°C it changes color to a lighter color. The stone can turn yellow, green, or even white (colorless). It is worth noting that after cooling, the jewel, although not fully, still restores its original shade. The mineral also burns out when exposed to the sun for a long time. So, over the course of a century it can fade by as much as 80%. It is worth remembering that the lavender pebble should be stored in a box protected from light, this is the key to the durability of the jewelry. Amethyst gemstone is mined from rocks. The most extensive deposits of the mineral are located in South America, Asia, Russia and the African continent. The depth of the mineral is always different. The deeper the deposit is located, the higher the quality of the gem. The most expensive and most amazingly beautiful specimens are mined in the Urals. They were called “Siberian amethyst”. There are high quality gems in Asia, but samples from Brazil are of the least quality, and, as a result, have a low price compared to other types.

Mineral varieties

The variety of colors and purity of the stone (without foreign inclusions) is the reason for such a high popularity of the mineral among jewelers. Semi-precious stones of such high quality are rarely found in nature. Despite the fact that purple is the most common color, there are gems of other colors in nature, for example, green amethyst. These jewelry are very rare and are used mainly for making collectibles. When making jewelry, the cut of the stone is important; the correct choice of material makes the finished product truly fabulous; as a rule, white and yellow gold are used. Green amethyst has a delicate, but at the same time deep color, thanks to which the stone was called proselyte. An equally rare shade is pink amethyst color. It may or may not be transparent. Pink stone is rarely monochromatic, but admixtures of other shades do not make it less valuable. On the contrary, they give the finished product a special charm. The pink gem is collected only with the most precious metals (gold and platinum). It takes several million years for a new deposit of black stone to form. This is the rarest of all gem varieties. For its uniqueness, black amethyst was nicknamed royal. Expensive jewelry is made from it, including many items cut in silver. As a rule, these are amulets and talismans, since it is silver that fully reveals the healing and magical properties of amethyst.

Stone of the Gods

The mineral appeared on earth a long time ago; an interesting legend was written about it back in ancient Greece. She talked about how the god of wine Dionysus fell in love with a nymph named Amethyst. But the girl already had a lover, so the goddess Artemis gave her a stone of an unusual purple color, which was supposed to protect the nymph from intoxication with wine. In those days, wine cups were decorated with amethyst, and jewelry with stones was worn at festivals. People believed that this way they could protect themselves from excessive alcohol consumption and the consequences of feasting. It’s not for nothing that the name of the gem means “not drunk” when translated from ancient Greek. This mineral was revered not only in Greece, but also in other ancient states. In China, it was used to make containers for aromatic oils; in Rome, it was used to decorate things belonging to the nobility; in Egypt, amethyst was considered one of the strongest amulets. In Rus’, archbishops and princes owned the stone; it could often be seen on the crowns of queens. The special shine and unique color, reminiscent of lilac, could not leave a single person indifferent.

The object of desire, although he will love and be near, will forever remain a stranger. Sometimes they say that amethyst is a stone of loneliness. The fact is that, having generated true love, the talisman will nourish it forever.

Amethyst in astrology

Of course, the mesmerizing amethyst color attracts the eye, but it is worth remembering that beauty is not the main thing. The zodiac sign should not conflict with the amulet. Otherwise, all his positive qualities will be useless. And perhaps they will even cause harm.

This stone suits almost all zodiac signs. The exceptions are Leo, Pisces and Capricorn. If for Leo and Pisces the talisman does not pose a threat and will only be a beautiful decoration, then for Capricorn it is dangerous. People born under this sign are prone to self-destruction; wearing amethyst enhances this character trait.

Artificial gem

With the development of science, people have learned to create various materials. Stones were no exception. Artificial amethyst is grown in special laboratories; the stone has the same physical properties, and the color of the mineral is determined in advance. Interesting fact: artificially created amethysts are not inferior in price to real ones.

The differences between natural and grown specimens are size, shape and color. The fact is that the amethyst color of natural crystals cannot be uniform. Some parts of the stone are always lighter or darker than the main mass. In the case of an artificial mineral, the color is always bright, rich and uniform.

Despite the fact that synthetic crystals were not created by nature, they do not belong to ornamental stones. In addition to similar chemical and physical properties, artificial amethyst has the same healing capabilities as a real stone.

Since ancient times, stones have been credited with magical powers, especially for minerals with “dark” powers.

Widow’s Stone of Loneliness (also called alexandrite) is a precious mineral of red, burgundy or other dark, rich shades (a type of chrysoberyl).

There are 5 minerals that lead to loneliness

It is believed that the widow’s stone can influence a person’s fate and lead to sad events. But, a direct connection between wearing jewelry and the loss of loved ones has not yet been established.

Widow’s stone brings bad luck: true or false

It was believed that girls who wore “widow’s” jewelry lost their husbands early or did not get married at all. And yet, there is no scientific evidence that the mineral affects the creation of a family or destroys it.

A husband can leave his wife no matter what jewelry she wears, and finding a spouse nowadays is not so easy even without jewelry. But girls continue to believe in old legends and prophecies, endowing jewelry with mystical properties.

Women who wear alexandrite because they like it and do not think about its properties are rarely victims of prejudice.

If the decoration puts you in a positive mood and gives you a good mood, then there is no reason to believe the rumors.

Stones that are classified as widow’s: the history of alexandrite

There is a whole list of decorations that portend loneliness.

Alexandrite was discovered 150 years ago. The mystical aura around the mineral was created by the Russian writer Nikolai Semenovich Leskov, who wrote a book about the unique properties of the stone.

For the first time, the decoration was presented to Emperor Alexander II, and, as you know, a tragic fate awaited the ruler. From there, “bad” rumors began to spread, and the stone began to be associated with misfortune.

Buying a natural mineral is not so easy. It costs more than a diamond and is a truly Russian stone, which was first found in the Urals.

During the Soviet era, they learned to create it artificially and put it into mass production.

Every girl had to have jewelry with alexandrite. After the end of World War II, the time of widows came in the country. This disaster was immediately attributed to the stone. The color of the stone played a big role.

Many women considered alexandrite a source of troubles on the personal front. The purple hue evoked despondency, melancholy and sadness.

Only in Russia the stone still has a bad reputation.

In other countries, the widow’s stone is a symbol of love and a talisman of family ties. As you can see, self-hypnosis means a lot.

In fact, alexandrite is not so scary, it changes color under the influence of sunlight, helps relieve tension and calms the nerves.

Possessing a neutral biofield, the stone suppresses anxiety and negative emotions.

Varieties of widow’s stones

Black pearls are also classified as widow’s stones.

It is believed that the black beads are the tears of the widows of sailors who did not return home from a sea voyage. Black pearls are the personification of sadness. It is often worn during times of mourning.

But classic white pearls are a symbol of purity, femininity and love

The organic mineral is obtained from mollusk shells and is classified as a precious stone.

In Russia, not a single wedding was complete without pearls. According to Eastern traditions, pearl necklaces on a woman only strengthen the bond between lovers.

A married lady is recommended to wear the mineral in pairs. For example, a ring and earrings or a pendant with a brooch.

Jewelry with pearls will help a widow find new love, provided that the woman is ready for a relationship. Free girls are better off choosing a different piece of jewelry. Pearls can “hide” true feelings and fate will pass by.

Amethyst: stone of separation

Amethyst is a purple-colored gemstone that can be found among the ministers in the church. According to Christian laws, amethyst is considered a stone of celibacy; priests bow before it and make promises to God.

With its help they made love spells and broke up strong couples. Amethyst cannot be given to spouses – the day will not be far off when the newlyweds will separate (the husband or wife will go to the one who gave the jewelry).

There is another belief – if you present an amethyst to your young wife, then after the death of her betrothed, she will never meet another man.

A lilac stone in a girl’s ring indicates that she does not want a new relationship.

You can’t give amethyst as a gift for a wedding, it will lead to a quick breakup

In Rus’, newlyweds exchanged jewelry with amethyst. So they swore an oath of eternal fidelity. Even if a person remained alone, he or she could no longer enter into another relationship.

Topaz: indifference and loneliness

The dark blue shimmer of the precious mineral, like cold sea waves, envelops its owner in indifference and detachment to the surrounding world.

A person’s soul gradually becomes stale, emotions disappear, the desire to love and give happiness disappears.

Due to callousness and indifference, quarrels and discord in the family are inevitable

Topaz is a stone of loneliness, which is very popular with strong, independent women who rule unquestioningly, do not recognize mental weakness and are unshakable in their decisions.

After some time, even the most sociable person awakens to a love of loneliness, and he moves more and more away from noisy companies.

Topaz has the rare property of developing intuition.

Pomegranate: promises mourning and parting

The deep red color of the stone resembles blood, symbolizing passion and love balancing on the brink of explosion.

According to old beliefs, the bloody mineral is a stone of mourning, which predicts death, separation and grief.

People who prefer jewelry with garnet are self-willed, tough, and decisive. Women who choose this mineral are domineering, they strive to subjugate everyone, such people are rarely chosen as wives.

A woman is focused on her career and personal success; family does not play an important role.

How to wear loneliness stones correctly

The choice of jewelry largely depends on the inner world of a person. The characteristics of a mineral may not always correspond to reality: in some cases, it is “heavy” widow’s stones that help to gain confidence in one’s abilities and find the meaning of life.

The stones are suitable for strong, strong-willed people who are not susceptible to outside influence. If a gift is made from a pure heart, then it will bring only joy.

Wear jewelry so that the mineral does not come into contact with the skin. In the golden edging, the stones restrain their dark forces.

If you are sure that you broke up with a loved one due to the fault of the widow’s stone, then do not be upset – it only drives out bad people.

To enhance the magical properties of minerals, it is recommended to set them in silver.

You shouldn’t wear loneliness stones all the time. They are great for highlighting the originality of your look at a business meeting. It is not recommended to wear it every day (no more than 4-5 days a month).

Who is prohibited from wearing widow’s stones?

If a person has an overly impressionable and tender nature, then any negative description will cause bad associations and will leave a “dark” imprint on the jewelry, even if it is admired.

Are you easily influenced by others and believe in legends? It’s better to choose calmer minerals with positive energy and history.

People who are experiencing difficulties in relationships should not wear jewelry with a widow’s stone. Of course, if you don’t want to tear them completely.

Do not give minerals to young girls and boys planning to get married. And also to people subject to prejudice.

Don’t forget about astrology. Stones and zodiac signs are closely related:

  • Garnets should not be worn by Sagittarius, Capricorn, or Pisces.
  • Alexandrite – Virgo, Capricorn, Leo.
  • Topaz – Leo, Taurus.
  • Amethyst – Libra.
  • Pearls – Libra, Virgo.

A stone that brings loneliness affects human nature: all positive qualities are gradually erased, selfishness and callousness become more pronounced. The main problem of the “widow’s” stone is prejudice and speculation.

As for artificial minerals, they cannot influence a person’s life if the person himself does not believe in it with all his soul.
