Amethyst is a mineral formed from quartz crystals with a beautiful purple-violet color. It is one of the best-known and most highly regarded stones in the quartz group. Amethyst has been used for millennia in jewelry, ornaments, and spiritual uses.

Symbol meaning:

Amethyst is considered an extremely powerful and protective stone, and is thought to have a high spiritual vibrational frequency. It transforms negative energies into love. Its calm nature helps to reach higher levels of consciousness. When meditating, it takes thoughts from everyday things to tranquility, harmony, deeper understanding and opens the way to other dimensions. It is one of the most spiritual stones. Amethyst is the stone of the crown chakra. Amethyst is also considered the stone of Pisces.

The symbolism of the ball shape

The shape of a sphere has many symbolic meanings in different cultures and contexts. In general, a sphere symbolizes wholeness, perfection, and harmony. Its round shape suggests continuity, perpetual motion, and cyclicity, making it a symbol of timelessness and eternity. The sphere also represents unity and balance, as every point on it is equidistant from the center.

In many cultures and philosophical traditions, the sphere has been used to symbolize the soul or spirit. The sphere can be seen as reflecting the sacred and boundless nature of the soul. Its symmetrical shape reflects the soul's eternal existence.

The spherical shape of crystals is also believed to radiate energy evenly in all directions. This shape is thought to act as a window into the past or future, moving energy through time and offering a glimpse of what is to come or what has been. Crystal ball gazing has long been a way to tap into this symbolism and seek connection to higher dimensions or to gain intuitive knowledge of the past or future.
