The name Amethyst comes from Greek amethustos wich means ‘not drunken’ because the stone was believed to prevent intoxication. This crystal – traditionally considered protective of those who suffer alcohol abuse – was found as jewelry in treasures dating thousands of years ago in Egypt. It provides emotional balance, represents peace, tranquility, and can help us channel good luck and opportunities.

Origin: Amethyst is a mineral of magmatic origin. It’s commonly found inside of agates in the form of geodes, sometimes gigantic. The main deposits are found in the Urals, Germany, Western Australia, Zambia, Brazil, United States, and Canada.
It is considered a semi-precious stone and belongs to the family of quartz. Its colors range from a beautiful deep purple to a light blue, but it is not uniform as it undergoes gradual degradation. In ancient times, these gemstones were appreciated as much as diamonds and used in the crowns of kings, in their jewels and vessels.
Main uses: Protection, attracting good luck, love, and spiritual healing.

How to Clean an Amethyst
To physically clean an amethyst, start by soaking your gem in soapy water for 15-20 minutes to loosen up any dirt. If your amethyst is too large to submerge, use a wet, warm washcloth and some dish detergent to wipe down the gemstone. Next, use a toothbrush to remove any grime stuck to the amethyst.
