Amethyst is one of the most beloved healing crystals in the world, and rightly so.

Ancient cultures from Egypt to Greece treasured amethyst for its ability to prevent intoxication — both of the body and of the mind.
Hold during meditation to deepen your practice, or place on the third eye or crown chakra during relaxation. Keep a cluster in your bedroom to promote restful sleep and vivid, meaningful dreams. A cluster point like this one radiates energy outward into a room.
Moonlight, sound or selenite. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight as it can fade the violet colour over time.
