ABOUT AMETHYST GEMSTONE

Amethyst, also referred to as Jamunia or Katela in Vedic astrology, is a semi-precious gemstone valued for its therapeutic and spiritual qualities. It is a powerful tool for balancing Saturn’s energies in one’s life because it is mainly connected to the planet Saturn (Shani).

Amethyst is associated with Saturn, a planet that represents karma, discipline, and spiritual development. For people who might not be able to handle the powerful energies of Blue Sapphire (Neelam), the primary gemstone for Saturn, it is a safer substitute. By encouraging clarity, patience, and inner strength, amethyst can help lessen the negative effects of Saturn, such as during Sade Sati or Shani Dasha.
