Amethyst

Amethyst is protective, purifying, relaxing, brings harmony and inner peace.

It clears your head and gives insight into your behavior and the choices you make.

Because of this, it helps to acknowledge and leave behind bad habits and addictions.

It also gives insight into emotional issues and can help to place certain experiences, helping you to move to the next stage when processing emotional pain, trauma and loss, and grief.

Amethyst creates a field of light energy around it which can cleanse and protect your aura and – if the stone is large enough – a room.

It can open the crown and third eye, making the stone suitable for people who want to start developing their intuition and spiritual skills.

It also helps make contact with higher energies and guides and is a good stone to support meditation.

Physically, amethyst has a positive effect on the brain and nervous system, bruises, headaches and migraines, and sleeping problems (such as nightmares).

Amethyst can discolor under the influence of bright sunlight.
