Known as the "Stone of Spiritual Wisdom," amethyst has captivated healers, mystics, and seekers for millennia. With its soothing violet hues and potent vibrational energy, this quartz-family crystal is revered for its ability to purify the mind, awaken intuition, and create harmony between the physical and spiritual realms. Its name derives from the Greek amethystos, meaning "not intoxicated"—a nod to ancient beliefs in its power to promote clarity and sober wisdom.

- Enhancing spiritual awareness and psychic protection
- Calming anxiety and quieting mental chatter
