The colors of the amethyst evoke strong healing powers of this crystal. The amethyst works to purify any space of negative vibrations, emanates higher energy and creates a suitable place for one to come back to the source of his or her own power. It calms and cools excessive emotions, and eases the transition to a more meditative state by clearing the unnecessary mind clutter.

On a physical level, amethyst is said to strengthen the immune system and help heal imbalances of the respiratory tract and skin. It is interesting to note that the name amethyst translated from Greek means a stone that can protect the wearer from intoxication!
