The most popular crystal on the planet is the gorgeous calming purple Amethyst. The name Amethyst derives from the ancient Greek word amethystos meaning ‘intoxicated’. The ancient Greeks wore Amethyst and used carved Amethyst cups as they believed it would prevent intoxication. Medieval European soldiers wore Amethyst in battle to keep them level-headed as well as to aid healing. Amethyst is a type of Quartz, with its colour coming from radiation in the ground triggering iron impurities and, in some cases, other transition metals. The current largest Amethyst deposits are in Brazil, but they can also be found in the USA, Canada, Austria, Bulgaria, India, South Korea, Africa and Russia.

Amethyst has a natural calming and soothing effect, helping you achieve a balanced and focused mindset. This semi-precious stone has a huge list of benefits - and is particularly useful to keep nearby or in your palm to ease tension. It is fantastic for massage as well! If you like to meditate you can lie down and place the stone on your third eye, or if you are sitting cross legged you can place Amethyst on top of your Crown Chakra. Keeping it under a pillow at night can promote quiet, recuperative sleep and prevent nightmares. Amethyst is also considered a powerful protection stone and can guard against psychic attacks.
