The Healing Properties Of Green Amethyst

Green amethyst, also known as prasiolite or vermarine, should be called "greened" amethyst. It begins as a purple amethyst, which is mined in Brazil and to a lesser extent in Arizona. When heat treated, iron in the stone causes it to turn a pale to medium green. Rarely, the green color comes from the natural heat of a volcano but normally it is created artificially in an oven or kiln. The green amethyst gets its healing properties from its ability to synthesize energy between the upper and lower parts of the body, linking mind, body and spirit.


Physical Healing








According to "The Book of Stones" by Simmons and Ahsian, prasiolite supports the heart and gastrointesinal tract. Green amethyst aids digestion by allowing the body to efficiently use the nutrients it takes in and to regulate stomach acid. Crystalsandjewelry.com adds that green amethyst cleanses the body of a variety of toxins, including tumors. Green amethyst heals by clearing all chakras of blocked energy, allowing the body to resume its natural state of well-being.


Emotional Healing


Green amethyst strengthens the mind, emotions and will. The stone carries an energetic link between the heart and crown chakras. This allows for self-acceptance and self love. These properties promote emotional healing through building confidence and letting go of past emotional wounds. The fire that causes the green color is also a symbolic fire that burns in the will of humans through the emotional solar plexus. Green amethyst strengthens that will, allowing emotional expression.








Spiritual Healing


Green amethyst facilitates inner vision and opening of the heart to love, the language of spirit. The versatile green amethyst helps to ground the ungrounded. For those who are too occupied with earthly matters, the crystal helps open their hearts to spirit. The green amethyst brings the spiritual world into the every day.


Healing the Earth


Green amethyst facilitates the energetic link of crown and heart chakras, opening the heart to the energy of the earth. The stone simultaneously links to higher spiritual realms, which makes a human wearing or carrying green amethyst a powerful force of the earth's healing energy. According to "The Book of Stones" it is akin to being a "lightning rod of healing energy for the Earth."


Healing Each Other


Although green amethyst is a crystal that supports self-reliance and will, it also allows us to open our hearts to see ourselves as parts of a whole. We are then able to look past human flaws in ourselves and others to see the Divine in our fellow souls.
