AMethyst

“The violet depths of Amethyst whisper serenity into the chaos of the mind."

Adorned with purple, violet or lavender crystals, Amethyst is renowned for its spiritual and metaphysical attributes.

Its name is derived from the ancient Greek word "amethystos," meaning "not intoxicated," reflecting the belief that wearing amethyst could protect one from the intoxicating effects of alcohol, keeping the wearer level-headed, clear-minded, and quick-witted. 

Ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans adorned jewelry and amulets with this striking gemstone, and in medieval Europe it was believed to possess healing properties and was often used to ward off nightmares and promote a sense of calm.

Amethyst is considered a powerful and protective stone, enhancing spiritual awareness and promoting a sense of inner peace. Many practitioners of crystal healing use amethyst to balance energies, calm the mind, and stimulate intuition.

In the realm of astrology, Amethyst is closely associated with the zodiac sign of Pisces, enhancing the intuitive and empathic qualities of those born under this sign. Amethyst's calming energy is thought to resonate well with the sensitive and compassionate nature of Pisces individuals, offering support in navigating their emotional depths.
