Amethyst has the kind of purple that draws you in without trying. Some pieces are pale lavender, others are deep violet, and the best ones catch light through the crystal structure so they seem to glow from the inside.

Sourced directly from Alaotra-Mangoro, Madagascar. Worth knowing: a lot of the amethyst on the market is heat-treated and irradiated. What we carry is natural and untreated.

From Greek 'a-methystos' meaning 'not drunk', ancient Greeks believed amethyst prevented intoxication and carved drinking vessels from it.

In crystal traditions, amethyst is often associated with quiet, steady calm, winding down and settling into rest, and a simple anchor during practice. It's traditionally linked to the third eye and crown chakras. If that resonates, set it in front of you during meditation or quiet reflection. Work with it the way that fits your own practice.

These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
