Smoky Amethyst is part of the quartz family. From Greek 'a-methystos' meaning 'not drunk', ancient Greeks believed amethyst prevented intoxication and carved drinking vessels from it.
Sourced directly from Masvingo, Zimbabwe. Worth knowing: a lot of the smoky amethyst on the market is heat-treated and irradiated. What we carry is natural and untreated.
Smoky amethyst has long been used in practices around staying connected to your body and the moment, quiet, steady calm, and a sense of groundedness when things feel uncertain. It's traditionally linked to the root and third eye chakras. If that resonates, set one on the floor near where you sit to read or work. There's no single right way to carry it.
These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
A starting place for your own quiet practice.
