Amethyst: Princesses and Fantasies of The Gem World
Come with us, beautiful Princess, and dive into the enchanting world of fairytales and realities about Amethyst Crystals and how they gained their reputation for being the healing, calming stress relief, and mega health stone of this century.
The name "Amethyst" comes from the Greek word "Ametusthos," which translates into "non-toxicated."
An old legend regarding this name links back to a wine god named Bacchus, who had a furious personality. One day, he became exceptionally enraged over an insult, and to let go of his anger, he decided to throw the first person he met in front of his hungry tigers.
Unfortunately, he came upon a fair and stunning maiden named Amethyst as she was going for a prayer at the shrine. When the tigers started charging toward Amethyst, a Goddess, watching over her turned her into a magnificent clear crystal, offering her eternal protection.
Bacchus was so ashamed and regretted his decision so profoundly that he poured grape juice, from his beloved winery, over the stone as a forgiving action, turning the crystal into a beautiful purple.
From then on, this super crystal has been used throughout history as a symbol of healing, cleansing, and balance. In addition, people used it as a source of therapy due to its soothing effects on the mind and body because it is a type of quartz consisting of iron and trace minerals. Which also emits a healing aura that calms fears.

This precious stone is present across the globe, but substantial reservoirs have been discovered near Greece, Italy, the Middle East, and Africa.

Let's not forget to mention that Amethyst has a unique role in enhancing one's intellectual and cerebral thoughts.
As mentioned earlier, it promotes sobriety and brings about peace and calm. It acts like a detoxifying agent that clears the poison and makes something clear and intoxicated. It is an antidote to all the toxic and lethal thoughts that one's mind concocts and makes it cleanse and sterile.
This purple beauty is a stone that can lessen addictions and make people let go of their destructive and negative thoughts. Especially those who are hypersensitive and angry are often advised to wear it as this empowering stone helps soothe anger.

Emotions, thoughts, and thinking about all sorts of things will become more natural without the side effects they might usually bring. Essentially, Amethyst provides you with the intellectual guidance and power needed to think clearly, with a streamlined approach.
Amethyst Spiritual Meaning
What's behind the purple beauty, you may ask?
The spiritual aspect regarding Amethyst stones is as important as the physical one. Like we cleanse our bodies and maintain hygiene daily, we should do a spiritual bath. Spiritual bathing should be as intentional as physical bathing by scrubbing our minds of negative thinking and feeling good when we are through.
The color of this stone is the embodiment of healing; purple is the epitome of mystical appeal, tranquility, and spiritual cleansing, which exudes a soothing aura around you and your loved ones, like blues and greens.
Keeping an Amethyst Feng Shui Tree in your home or workspace can keep your intentions charged so you can accomplish your goals and keep your creativity up.
The Purple Gem & Your Crown Chakra
Representing the Crown Chakra, the Amethyst is known to dissolve stress, improve the outlook on life, and eliminate negativity. However, it is essential to state that the Amethyst does not spiritually act like Jade, Citrine, or Tiger Eye. Its impact is usually hidden and not evident at initial introspection.
Instead, Amethyst stones create a sober state of mind, so you're prepared to make critical decisions. Also, it is healing for all problems known to hurt our soul's integrity and peace. Amethyst crystals work beautifully on their own or together with other crystals to free your spirit and set your intentions. Like we mentioned above about "spiritual bathing."
Amethyst is perfect for meditation. For example, you can place your Amethyst mala beads on your forehead while clearing your thoughts toward a blank state of mind, trying to focus on the Amethyst's shape and positive vibration. Slightly cold to the touch, it emanates tranquility, essential for effective meditation.

Positivity is the aura enriching every aspect and vibration of my mind, body, and soul. Even if negativity arises, it will do nothing to hinder my aspirations and immediate goals. It will not harm me."

Each gemstone has an intention and energy all on its own, but when combined, amazing. They can work together seamlessly to make you, your emotions, and the environment better and more mindful.

Therefore, Amethysts are excellent stones to incorporate into your bath spa rituals. Place your Amethyst near the bathtub (to keep it from falling, place it in a small bowl), put on some soothing music and cherish its relaxing vibes.
The bedroom is ideal for an Amethyst piece as it is incredibly tranquilizing. Having this gem by your side and being surrounded by its aura will bring balance and a peaceful nights sleep. Of course, you may wish to incorporate lavender into your nighttime ritual too.
How To Apply Amethyst Stones Daily

It is also excellent for all aspiring students who need to focus on their education and studies, no matter their age.
Amethyst also sterilizes the environment. That's why we recommend placing in the corners of a room to cleanse the air, which helps those people who have various kinds of allergies and breathing problems.
For best results, place the crystals at the window panes, which receive sunlight during the day and moonlight during the night. This will help to spread positive energy across the house.
Amethyst is the prime stone for helping with anxiety. Wear an Amethyst bracelet, and after a few days, you'll start to feel a positive difference. Remember, repeating positive mantras each day and touching your Amethyst stone has a highly positive effect on keeping you calm and relaxed.
