Amethyst
Amethyst is one of the most popular crystals. It has a beautiful purple color, which can be very light or dark. Other colors of amethyst include lavender, white, pink, and black. The darker the crystal, the rarer it is. This means that black is the rarest color of amethyst.
Amethyst means “not intoxicated” and comes from the ancient Greek word “Amethystos.” The Greeks placed amethyst in a glass of wine, which was supposed to prevent alcohol poisoning.
Stories about amethyst, always imbued with the magic of myth, acquired their shade from Dionysus's blood-red wine tears. The story goes that Amethyst was actually a young maiden who found herself on the brink of divine wrath when she was intoxicated. The young girl cried out to the goddess Diana for help, and the goddess transformed her into a glistening pale stone. When Dionysus realized his folly, he wept into a glass of wine and, in his emotion, overturned his goblet. The white stone absorbed the wine until it glowed with a delicate violet hue.
Amethyst is found worldwide, but in recent years it has become increasingly rare, and its value has consequently increased.
Amethyst will help you achieve clearer thinking, eliminate stress, and promote clearer emotions. Due to all its benefits, it will also help you combat addiction, no matter what kind, be it alcohol addiction, gaming addiction, etc.

Why is it necessary to cleanse crystals?
The biggest reason for cleansing amethyst is to remove negative energy from the crystal. Cleansing is especially important if you received the amethyst as a gift, which means it has been used by others. Therefore, it is essential to cleanse it to get rid of any potentially negative energy.
How to cleanse it of negative energy?
Water is one of the best ways to cleanse amethyst. It is best if it is natural water (for example, a stream).
Leave it under water for at least one minute.
You can also place it on the ground, or bury it for a few minutes, then wash it with water.
Amethyst can also be cleansed with the smoke of sage, lavender, and other herbs, which you burn in a fireproof container and slowly, with positive thoughts, wave around the crystal for at least 30 seconds per crystal. If you don't like this method, you can also place the crystal in herbs and leave it there for 5 minutes.
Can it be exposed to sunlight?
Amethyst should not be in direct sunlight as it can fade over time.
How is it used?
If you want to experience the healing properties of amethyst, here are some ways to incorporate it into your life. You can carry a pocket crystal with you in your pocket, purse, or even in your bra.
You can wear jewelry, such as bracelets or necklaces.
The hand on which you wear bracelets is also important. Amethyst is worn on the left hand, as this side of the body is considered the receiving part, meaning it is more susceptible to the energies of the amethyst bracelet.
Place a geode or point in the room where you sleep for better and more peaceful sleep.
You can place it on your forehead to stimulate creativity and clear your mind.
Hold it in your hand to gain clarity and focus.
Place it on your chest to promote soothing and peaceful sleep.
A cluster is excellent for families, teamwork, groups, restoring energy, and cleansing the energy of any room.
