บท 84: Chapter 84: Amethyst Wands

Amethyst

Amethyst is a variety of quartz that is primarily made from silicon dioxide with traces of iron giving it its purple color. Amethyst may exhibit one or both secondary hues, red and blue, especially when faceted.

Mystical Properties and Uses

Amethyst wands contain one or more amethysts: a large one for the wand's end cap, a small one at the wand's tip, or small ones along the wand's length. Although they typically use faceted amethyst gemstones because of their beauty and better focusing ability, wand makers occasionally also use amethyst cabochons.

The most royal of mystical crystals, amethysts have the following mystical properties:

Amethyst has been called the Bacchus Stone because Greek mythology states that the goddess Diana turned a nymph whom Bacchus loved into an amethyst. Its association with the royal color purple has led it to be called the Royal Beauty.
