Violet and purple are linked to the crown
chakra located above the top of the head. Inspiration, imagination, empathy
and the sense of service to others are the energies of this centre. Violet
and purple stones help to re-balance extremes within the systems of the
body, so they can be of use when you are not sure of the nature of a problem.
~Amethyst~
is perhaps the most useful all-purpose healing
crystal. It is universally applicable
in its uses and benefits. Amethyst is a
good stone to use with meditation as it quietens
the mind and allows finer perceptions to
become clear.
~Fluorite~
comes in a wide variety of colours, though
violet is one of the commonest. It can be used
to great effect with the upper chakras where
it enables subtle energies to integrate
better with normal consciousness, increasing
the practical use of ideas and inspirations.
Fluorite also helps with co-ordination,
both physical and mental.
~Sugalite~
is a stone with various shades of purple.
It can be useful in groups situations, where it
helps to resolve personal difficulties and
brings greater group coherence. This stone
is also indicated for those who are uncomfortable
with their circumstances or who
feel as though they don't "fit in".
~Iolite~
is also called water sapphire, but is no
relation. It has a subtle violet translucence
that increases the imagination and all aspects
of intuitive creativity.
