Green Amber is a completely natural variation of Baltic Amber. The green color is a result of plant interaction with resin. While green is a more valuable color of amber than brown, best quality of amber remains clear, transparent, and flawless. Slightly softer than Baltic amber, Dominican amber is prized for its coloration, including yellow and deep red, as well as distinctive (and rare) blue and smoky green hues that come exclusively from that area. Shocking Information about Amber The ancient name for amber was "electron," root word of electricity. Around 600 B.C., it was discovered that if an amber stone was rugged vigorously, it became electrically charged. Believed to carry a negative electrical energy charge, amber was used to draw power and energy into its bearer. In addition to its ability to attract energy and power, amber was believed to aid intellect. It was prescribed for memory loss; eccentric behavior; anxiety, and indecisiveness. The Joy of Amber Amber jewelry is said to help one be joyful and happy. The cheery yellow stone is believed to lighten burdens of life. Healers say that amber activates our altruistic nature and helps us realize full power of our spiritual intellect.

The intense violet hue of February's birthstone appealed to early monarchs, perhaps because they often wore this color…as a symbol of their elevated position. Purple dye was once scarce and expensive, so it was reserved for garments of royalty, and color came to symbolize power and status. Sobering Thoughts with Amethyst The Greeks believed that whoever wore an amethyst or drank from an amethyst cup would not become intoxicated. In fact, word amethyst is derived from Greek word "amethystos," meaning sober. In ancient Greece, gemstone was associated with god of wine, and it was common practice to serve this beverage from Amethyst goblets in belief that this would prevent overindulgence. It was also claimed that amethyst had a sobering effect on those "drunk" on love’s passion. Even today, amethyst is considered a stabilizing force for those struggling to overcome addictive behaviors. In general, gemstone is believed to be a calming, tranquil influence that symbolizes peace. Amethyst and Prayer Amethyst is symbolic of piety, spirituality, and a devotion to God. The rich purple gemstones are used worldwide to ornament churches and crosses used in religious ceremony, and they frequently found in rings and on rosaries worn by bishops and priests. It is also believed that amethysts bring on pleasant dreams because they allow you to "channel" positive universal energy.
