Amethyst is a purple variety of quartz regarded in crystal healing as a stone of calm, intuition and spiritual protection, linked to the third eye and crown chakras.
Why It Matters
Its name comes from the Greek amethystos, meaning not intoxicated, and it has long been prized for clarity and a steady mind. Seekers place it near meditation spaces, beds and altars to quiet the mind and open intuition. Next Level Soul explores it among the crystals used for energy work.
