Chevron (Banded) Amethyst "Stone of the Mind" is a combination of Amethyst and White Quartz, mixed together in a v-striped or banded pattern. Chevron Amethyst combines the strengthening and enhancing qualities of Quartz with the stress relieving qualities of Amethyst. Together these minerals create the Chevron Amethyst, which is noted in metaphysics to enhance peace of mind, relaxation and self discovery. This symbolic combination of minerals lends itself to a wonderfully spiritually stone. Chevron Amethyst is said to bring courage and inner strength. The stone is said in mystical lore to lessen any resistance to helping oneself, particularly as it concerns self-awareness. It is also said to diminish addictive tendencies and assists in recovery from addiction.
