It soothes those who have engaged in constant rigorous mental activity. It has been deemed "nature's tranquilizer" by many healers because of its effectiveness in relaxing not only the mind but also the nervous system. Those who wear amethyst jewelry and who have been recommended to wear this stone for healing purposes have done so because of its tranquil qualities and it's ability to reduce negativity and alleviate anxiety. Besides being a stone of tranquility and repose, amethyst is also known to enhance mental strength, stability, and vigor.

LAPIS LAZULI. When working or meditating with Lapis Lazuli, it can bring matters more clearly to the mind. It is one of the most powerful stones and should be used with care. Wearing a Lapis Lazuli ring can help you to become a channel. The ancient Egyptians used Lapis Lazuli as a symbol of Truth. Lapis (the deep blue kind) allows you to perceive emotional issues more clearly. Now, that does not mean it helps calm them or affect the type of emotions.
It allows you to see them for what they are, clearly. Kind of like putting on glasses when one cannot see. It takes away the blur. Lapis Lazuli is used with other stones when parts of the body need to be purified and cleansed and should be only used by a healer. Lapis Lazuli has high intensity and can open many of the charka centers. This must be done only with love in the heart and comprehension in the mind and wisdom in soul.
