Amethyst

A beatiful quartz crystal, with resonating purple hues.

Amethyst represents the healing of the Crown Chakra.

This quartz is a popular pick amongst those that want a home with clean energy frequencies. It helps with insomnia, overthinking or unproductive thinking, physical harm, being preyed upon by others and purifying one's own negative energy.

“Amethyst was used as a gemstone by the ancient Egyptians and was largely employed in antiquity for intaglio engraved gems.

The Greeks believed amethyst gems could prevent intoxication, while medieval European soldiers wore amethyst amulets as protection in battle in the belief that amethysts heal people and keep them cool-headed. Beads of amethyst were found in Anglo-Saxon graves in England. Anglican bishops wear an episcopal ring often set with an amethyst, an allusion to the description of the Apostles as "not drunk" at Pentecost in Acts 2:15.

Tibetans consider amethyst sacred to the Buddha and make prayer beads from it. Amethyst is considered the birthstone of February. In the Middle Ages, it was considered a symbol of royalty and used to decorate English regalia.”
