2) An Amethyst Cave Helps Promote Weight Loss

It’s pretty amazing that just being in the presence of an amethyst geode can help you lose weight, right? The name “amethyst” actually comes from the Greek word “amethystos,” which means “not intoxicated,” because it is known to provide self-restraint and prevent intoxication.

The same quality that makes amethyst helpful for keeping us sober is the same quality that can be used to help us restrain from things that would hinder our weight loss goals.

In addition to providing self-restraint, amethyst also helps to balance the body’s metabolism so that we can burn more calories. It helps balance the hormones, which can lead to weight gain when not balanced. Plus, amethyst has a cleansing and detoxifying quality that can help the body rid itself of toxins that hinder weight loss.

4) Amethyst Caves are an Interesting Blend of Natural & Manmade

The process of how amethyst geodes are created is fascinating. The beautiful amethyst crystals that form inside of the amethyst cave are natural, but the outside of the geode is partially manmade.

The whole amethyst cave is created out of a bubble that develops inside flows of lava. Over many thousands of years, water carries minerals into the hardened lava cavity, and those minerals (silica and iron) grow into amethyst crystals. Some amethyst caves can be over a million years old and it’s quite an amazing process.

From there, the amethyst geode is carefully chiseled out of cave walls. Then they are cut open and cement is added to the outside to reinforce the amethyst geode walls and small repairs are made…
