Effect

Amethyst works protectively, purifying, relaxing, brings harmony and inner peace. It clears your head and provides insight into your behavior and the choices you make. This helps you to recognize and leave behind bad habits and addictions. It also provides insight into emotional matters and can help to give certain experiences a place, which helps you to process emotional pain, trauma, loss and grief to the next stage. Amethyst creates a field of light energy around it that can cleanse and protect your aura and - if the stone is large enough - a space. It can open the crown and the third eye, making the stone suitable for people who want to start developing their intuition and spiritual skills. It also helps to 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 sleep problems (such as nightmares).

Care

Amethyst can discolour under the influence of bright sunlight.
