Amethyst:  The Stone of Sobriety and Spirituality

• It has, since historic times, been used to encourage and support sobriety.

• Assists in the assimilation of new ideas.

• Amethyst is a crystal of protection, because it repels more than it attracts.

• Stabilizes and transmutes dysfunctional energy.

• Also known as a stone of meditation and transformation.

ONYX:  "The Stone of Self Mastery and Control"

• Excellent stone for initiating the process of centering and alignment of the total person with a Higher Power. It helps us to absorb whatever energy we need from the Universe.

• Enhances s elf mastery, stamina, steadfastness, and determination, setting ones mind to a task, and making one a Master of one's own Fate.

• Although we are powerless over alcohol, we are not powerless to make a decision to not take that first drink.  Onyx reminds us to that we are responsible for our choices, amplifies and supports personal control.

SILVER : Mirror of the Soul

• Used to bring patience and perseverance to the wearer.

• Helps to smooth over the rough spots in your personality that might at times be considered "abrasive". (Who - me? )

• Helps us to see ourselves as other see us, which leads us to positive changes. (and much humbling)
