Does an amethyst geode have blue? Why do we ask? Many in India, in the new age community, and in energy medicine believe blue is the color of the 5th center,

the 5th chakra, the throat center. In summary, blue is the color of communication and most artistic endeavor.

Is an amethyst geode purple? Purple is the color of peace, the 6th center, the 3rd eye. Does gazing at a geode help you sense peace, devotion, the best of religion, and connection to God? Could He have intentionally formed some amethyst geodes into the shapes of amethyst cathedrals, amethyst churches?
