Amethyst is a violet to purple variety of the quartz mineral that can range in color from pale lavender to deep purple. It's a naturally occurring macrocrystalline variety of quartz that usually grows inside agate geodes. Amethyst is fairly hard and durable, with a hardness of 7, and can be cleaned with a steamer or ultrasonic cleaner.
Amethyst has a long history and deep symbolism. The name comes from the Koine Greek word amethystos, which is a combination of a- meaning "not" and methysko meaning "intoxicate". In ancient times, amethyst was believed to have many powers, including preventing drunkenness, warding off evil spirits, and protecting the wearer from harm. It's also been a symbol of royalty for centuries, associated with wealth, power, and luxury. Amethyst was traditionally worn by the robes and crowns of rich and powerful monarchs, and is still worn by church officials in the Anglican/Episcopal hierarchies, the Roman Catholic church, and the Church of Scotland.
Amethyst is also revered for its unique healing energy and metaphysical powers. It's believed to have many healing properties, including:
Regenerating cells
Promoting restful sleep
Supporting hormonal balance
Balancing the metabolism and endocrine system
Reducing stress and tension
Removing negative energies
Helping with migraines and other head disorders
Helping with anxiety and depression
Clearing the mind
Washing away toxic thinking
Amethyst is often used in jewelry, and lower grades of material can be cabbed, carved, and made into beads and other ornamental objects. Brazil, Uruguay, and Zambia are some of the largest global producers of amethyst.
Amethyst, a semi-precious purple quartz gemstone, is said to have many metaphysical properties, including:
Spiritual
Amethyst is said to open the crown and third eye chakras, which can help with spiritual growth, inner peace, and protection from negative energies. It can also enhance psychic abilities, intuition, and feelings of connection to the universe.
Mental
Amethyst can help with clear thinking, alleviating fears and worries, and trusting intuition. It can also help increase focus by improving cognitive and decision-making abilities.
Physical
Amethyst is said to help with headaches and tension, boost the immune system, and promote restful sleep. It can also help with hormonal balance and metabolism and endocrine system balance.
Other
Amethyst is said to help prevent drunkenness, dispel evil thoughts, and quicken intelligence. It can also create a sense of tranquility and absorb negative energy when placed in a home.
Some ways to use amethyst for healing include:
Placing it near your bed at night to help you sleep
Holding it in your hand while meditating
Putting it on your desk to create a peaceful, tension-free space
Wearing it as jewelry or keeping it in your pocket to fight negativity
However, these claims are scientifically unproven. According to astrology, people who are prone to violence should not wear amethyst because the stone's powerful energy can amplify these tendencies.
