Amethyst is the regal stone of crystal healing and throughout history it had adorned the finery of Kings and Queens alike. Its colour is purple which can vary from pale lilac to a dark, almost black-like purple. Amethyst comes in many shapes and sizes either as tumbled stones or clusters and is contains white quartz when in tumbled form. This does not limit the qualities of the amethyst but rather helps to direct its energy with the additional power of the white quartz.
This crystal has great spiritual qualities and is often seen to be worn by religious leaders today. The Amethyst is a transformational stone and is often associated with death and change. Its transformational properties are similar to that of clear quartz but with greater means to heal spiritual relationships.
Folklore has it that the colour of amethyst was derived by a drunkard spilling red wine on a clear quartz stone. This leads us to another of its healing properties – amethyst can help to cure addictions of all kinds.
Due to its affinity with all things spiritual it is an ideal companion for meditation helping to connect body and spirit. It is also good to take to bed to prevent insomnia or nightmares. It provides a safe haven and a calm environment.
