Amethyst

First and foremost, amethyst is a type of quartz and therefore is a great energy stone. It is the stone of St. Valentine and of faithful lovers because St. Valentine was thought to have worn an Amethyst ring engraved with the image of Cupid. It is also referred to as the “couple’s stone” and gives meaning to relationships that, over time, transcends the carnal union and gives way to deeper connection and a more soulful communion.

The reason I’m recommending this stone today, is because it has a soothing quality and is often associated with peace and tranquility. Its soothing and protective essence works in favor of cleansing our mind which is very helpful if we are trying to achieve surrender, which for me, today, is essential I stay in.

It relieves anxiety, worry, and restlessness and increases mental strength, stability and inner energy. It protects our mind from mental attacks, and helps to transform negative thinking into positive. Amethyst brings an understanding of all sorts of transformation processes.

Rhodochrosite

This stone represents selfless love and compassion. It is a wonderful stone to use when working with the Heart Chakra and relationships and it encourages you to feel love for yourself.

Rhodochrosite ca be responsible for attracting a soulmate  or twin flame into your life. If you haven’t met your twin yet, using this stone in meditation can help raise the energy vibration enough to bring the twin into your life. Lastly, Rhodochrosite teaches the heart to assimilate painful feelings without shutting down, and removes denial.
