The Amethyst Stone, known in Hindi as Jamuniya or Katela, is a powerful semi-precious gemstone renowned for its tranquilizing and spiritual properties. In Vedic astrology, Amethyst is primarily associated with the planet Saturn (Shani) and is often recommended as a sub-stone (Upratna) for the precious Blue Sapphire (Neelam). It channels the energy of discipline, clarity, spiritual devotion, and emotional sobriety, balancing the often-challenging influence of Shani.
 
Benefits of Amethyst:
It is a potent stress reliever that clears the mind of anxiety, emotional volatility, and negative thoughts, bringing a profound sense of peace and mental clarity. Amethyst activates the Crown Chakra and Third Eye, significantly aiding meditation, deepening spiritual awareness, and boosting intuitive and psychic abilities. It is believed to mitigate the negative influences of an ill-placed or weak Saturn in the birth chart, helping the wearer find focus, discipline, and stability during periods like Shani Sade Sati or Dhaiya.
 
How to wear an Amethyst Stone?
The Amethyst stone should be worn as a ring set in Silver or Panchdhatu (five-metal alloy). The ideal placement is on the Middle Finger of the dominant hand, as this finger is ruled by Saturn (Shani), the planet associated with the Amethyst. The auspicious day and time for wearing the stone for the first time is a Saturday morning, ideally during the Shukla Paksha (Waxing Moon phase).
