AMETHYST ON BRONZE BASE
Studio Greytak’s Amethyst on Bronze Base showcases two of nature’s most powerful creations.
In eastern and western cultures, the amethyst spins a path to the divine. The six-sided crystal provides a “shield of spiritual light” and aids in communion with sacred realms. Religious leaders, royalty and those seeking enlightenment have always held it close.
Peruvians carved the sun and moon onto the gem, wrapped it in baboon’s hair or swallow’s feather, and wore it round their necks to guard against evil. Even Leonardo da Vinci looked to amethysts to quicken intelligence and ward away evil thoughts.
Associated with the crown chakra, amethysts are the perfect stones to assist in meditation. It is a powerful tool for activating the mind, overcoming addiction, and eliminating negativity in one’s environment.
Ancient Sumerians used copper- and tin-rich rocks to build campfire rings. As the stones became heated, the metals melted and mixed, forming bronze, a world-changing metal. Bronze brought tools, weapons, armor, building materials, and a new sense of value to the ancient world. It is often associated with fire because of its reddish color. As an alloy of copper and tin, bronze takes on the properties of both but is generally thought to enhance courage and practicality and encourage focus on work. It is also thought to be good luck for warriors.
