Hello everyone!
I was recently gifted an amethyst stone and I'm interested in knowing more about its properties and significance. I've heard that different gemstones are associated with different planets or grahas in Vedic astrology. I was curious to know which graha amethyst is associated with.
I'm relatively new to the world of astrology and gemstones, so any information or resources you can share would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Hello everyone,
I personally associate amethyst with the planet Saturn or Shani in Vedic astrology. In my experience, Saturn can bring a lot of challenges and restrictions, and amethyst has helped me cope and find balance during this period. I have found that amethyst has a grounding energy that helps me feel more stable and centered amidst upheaval and uncertainty.
Additionally, amethyst is said to enhance mental clarity, promote relaxation, and improve quality of sleep. These can all be beneficial during times when Saturn's influence can lead to anxiety and stress. I've found that holding amethyst, wearing it as jewelry, or simply having it nearby can have a calming and soothing effect.
Of course, as others have mentioned, the association of a gemstone with a particular planet can depend on various factors. It's always best to consult with an experienced astrologer to determine the most appropriate gemstone for your individual needs.
I hope this helps!
