The Science of Serenity: How Amethyst Calms the Nervous System
A Geological Hug for Your Neurons
Composed of silicon dioxide with trace iron impurities creating its signature purple hues, amethyst operates on both physical and energetic planes. Crystal therapists believe its high vibration:
- Resonates with the crown chakra (spiritual connection)
- Balances the third eye chakra (intuition)
- Stimulates production of melatonin for restful sleep
Stress-Reduction Through Sacred Geometry
The crystal’s hexagonal molecular structure creates a natural energy grid that:
- Disrupts chaotic thought patterns
- Absorbs electromagnetic smog from devices
- Creates a protective energetic "bubble" around the wearer
