Amethyst is such a well-loved stone, and it's not difficult to understand why. Vivid purple hues look gorgeous in the natural crystal formations, as well as cut and polished stones which often catch remarkable inclusions. This variety of quartz can be pale and clear, or exceptionally dark, and is sometimes found in combination with other gemstones.

Belief in the metaphysical properties and the meaning of the Amethyst gemstone include:
✩ Psychic protection
✩ Happiness
✩ Contentment
✩ Sobriety
✩ Healing
✩ Focus
✩ Truth
✩ Spiritual wisdom
✩ Insight
✩ Meditation
✩ Tranquillity

Being a violet stone, Amethyst is associated with the Crown Chakra, and is the traditional birth stone for the month of January.
