In the ranks of crystals with metaphysical properties, few are as famous or as distinctive as amethyst. One of very few stones with its unique purple colouration, amethyst is a form of quartz that contains iron and other trace minerals within its structure.

Just like Fluorite, Amethyst is a meditative and calming stone which works in the emotional, spiritual, and physical planes to promote calm, balance, and peace. It is also used to eliminate impatience.

Amethyst is one of the stones that was most highly prized in the ancient world, and continues to be prized by many people today.

Amethyst is found all over the world, with some of the most precious deposits still found the vicinity of Greece, Italy, the Middle East, and the north of Africa.

Today, it can also be grown very easily in laboratories, just like most quartz crystals.

There is no problem with using laboratory-grown amethyst – the only reason not to is if you are interested in using a piece of amethyst that comes from a specific place that has personal meaning to you.

As long as you are actually buying amethyst, and not purple-coloured glass, the characteristics are exactly the same, and laboratory amethyst sidesteps the problems with worker safety that many mined gemstones face.

The legendary powers of amethyst are virtually unmatched and it holds a unique place in the ranks of crystal lore. Read on to learn more about its specific purposes.

How Will Amethyst Help You? Amethysts are the great problem-solvers of the crystal world. Because of their ability to help you cut through difficult situations and understand what you are really seeing in front of you, they make it possible to get through difficult choices and decision making processes as painlessly as possible.

Because of this, amethyst is an invaluable crystal when you have to solve a difficult problem with others, especially one where emotions are running high – or one where, as is so often the case, lots of people are talking, but no one is listening, and no one really knows what’s going on.

This happens more often than you’d expect, even in high positions in businesses, or between married couples!

Amethyst will help you listen to other people’s concerns, and then formulate and clearly articulate solutions in a highly practical, helpful way.

It will help you address every concern that is brought to the table in a way that is most effective for the interests of everyone involved. Amethyst crystals are also known for their rulership of the crown chakra. While there are dozens of stones associated with every chakra and amethysts are one of the best known for the crown. This is interesting, because the crown chakra is the chakra of spirituality, which many people (both religious and unreligious) see as diametrically opposed to the logical, even scientific thought that amethyst promotes.

However, in reality, a critically engaged way of thinking is one of the best ways to reach higher philosophical understanding of the world.

If you feel out of place in your spiritual community, perhaps due to feeling like you don’t really understand other people’s interpretations or spiritual experiences, then amethyst will help you come to an understanding of those that can lead you to a higher understanding of both yourself and the universe.

Amethyst, Healing and Health

Amethyst is an excellent crystal to enhance physical vitality, especially after chemotherapy, radiation, or pharmaceutical treatments.

It’s an energizing healer on a physical level because it can strengthen the adrenal glands, the reproductive organs, and the heart.

It can aid in the treatment of disorders that affect the lungs, pancreas, and spleen. It can also stimulate fertility and help in the treatment of conditions related to the reproductive system.

Amethyst can work in strengthening the immune system. It can also help you achieve a speedy recovery from a severe illness.

It can be effective when it comes to cell regeneration. Amethyst is a natural stress reliever and can also detoxify the body.

Emotionally, amethyst is used in crystal healing to help heal personal losses and grief, bringing one gently past painful experiences.
