These amethyst formations always amaze me with their delicate beauty. The formations are quite intricate with hundreds of elestial formations making up each piece. These pieces have such a unique formation due to the conditions in which they form. They are actually an amethyst pseudomorph after calcite. This means that the amethyst has formed around a calcite formation which has since dissolved, and the amethyst has retained the calcite formation. In this one you can still see the calcite on the backside, along with some malachite. Considering each piece is painstakingly cleaned with a hammer and a nail to reveal the beautiful formations, makes each one truly a treasure. Their energy is soft and angelic, like a feathery wing. The energy is high vibrational, yet gentle. It encourages and coaxes the third eye and crown chakras to be receptive to the wonders of the world around them. They help one to gently eliminate the cynicisms and skepticisms that prevent one from opening themselves to their divine. These elestials make perfect mediation pieces. This beautiful pale amethyst formation is from Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.

 There is no doubt that Divine intervention is present when these beauties are formed. Lovely shades of lavender amethyst shimmer and glisten on the top side of this wing while the underside still has parts of the matrix attached. This angel's wing has an abundance of energy that will protect one from negative energies. It will surround one with the "white light" that provides healing and protection. It stimulates one's system from the crown chakra on down through the root chakra. Its protective spirit reminds us that the angelic realm is always present and there is nothing to fear.

The crystal measures 3.5" x 2.9" x 1.5" and weighs 5.6 oz.

Amethyst may be used to remove radiation the body stores on the sides of the head...such as from computers and such. Geodes of Amethyst are particularly good for this, just place the head next to it; you will then feel the radiation being drawn out. Place on the 3rd eye and visualize yourself breathing in the color for total mental emotional soothing. It's a very good technique to do in bed before going to sleep.
