When thinking of crystals, many people think of amethyst or amethyst geodes. Amethyst has been documented since ancient times and can be considered one of the most representative crystals. It has various benefits such as improving sleep, enhancing memory, and creative thinking, making it a highly cost-effective crystal.

Composition Structure

Curious about how amethyst is formed? Amethyst is a type of quartz, mainly formed in volcanic rocks, pegmatites, or geodes in limestone and shale. The enchanting purple color you see is due to the presence of minerals like iron and manganese.

History and Legends

Amethyst has a long history among natural crystals. Records of amethyst can be traced back to 2000 BC, and many European artifacts have been found with amethyst or amethyst-inlaid treasures, reflecting the ancient relationship between amethyst and faith. In the Middle Ages, European soldiers believed that wearing amethyst amulets in battle had healing properties and could keep the mind clear and thoughts sharp.

Additionally, purple has always been a symbol of power and nobility, so amethyst is often seen in royal and church ornaments, and even in crowns.

Amethyst - The Birthstone of February

Amethyst is the birthstone of February, representing wisdom, luck, and honesty, making it a perfect crystal to send blessings to those born in February.

Amethyst is relatively abundant, making it affordable and a great gift choice.

Amethyst Improves Your Social Relations

When it comes to the benefits of amethyst, it might take thousands of words to describe. The most commonly experienced benefit is its ability to enhance social relations. Users often share how it has helped improve various aspects of their interpersonal relationships, allowing them to build a broader social circle at work or school and interact more harmoniously with others.

Amethyst is the Stone of Wisdom

Additionally, because amethyst corresponds to the crown chakra, it can stimulate personal inspiration and creativity. In Chinese history, amethyst has often been regarded as the stone of wisdom, as people have used it to develop wisdom, enhance thinking, and improve memory since ancient times. For students and office workers who need to use their brains for long periods, wearing amethyst can be very beneficial.

Amethyst Helps Improve Sleep

Moreover, amethyst's calming and soothing properties, which enhance sleep quality, make it very popular among those who suffer from chronic insomnia. Wearing amethyst at night or placing it beside your pillow can improve sleep quality and treat insomnia.

Maintenance Methods

Like other crystals, hot water or overly hot environments can damage amethyst. So, it's best to remove it when taking a bath to avoid contact with hot water.

Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight, as long-term exposure can fade the crystal's color.

Additionally, if you wear it during the day, remove it at night to let it rest.

Cleansing Methods

Like other crystals, you can use a Crystal cluster or Herkimer Diamond for Cleansing.

Note: We do not recommend using saltwater or gravel for Cleansing. For more details, see the article How to Cleanse and Reset Your Crystals.
 

Customer Success Stories

“My daughter used to fail her exams and had a poor memory. I have always worn crystals myself, so one day I bought an amethyst for my daughter to help her with her studies. After wearing it for a while, her memory seemed to improve, and her studies went more smoothly. She recently came home with a score of over 90!”

“I already had an amethyst geode at home. When I passed by the fashion crystal store, I saw several vibrant and beautiful amethyst geodes. Compared to the one I had at home, the quality was much better, so I couldn't resist buying another one. Over the past few months, my income has significantly increased, and my relationship with my family has been very harmonious, with fewer arguments.”
