Amethyst: meaning, properties, chakras and applications of this purple gemstone

✨ What is Amethyst?

Amethyst is one of the most beloved gemstones. This purple variety of quartz has been cherished for thousands of years for its calming and spiritual energy.

The ancient Greeks believed amethyst protected against intoxication (the name comes from amethystos = "not intoxicated"). Today, the stone is mainly known as a symbol of peace, clarity, intuition, and spiritual growth. No wonder amethyst is considered a true must-have in the world of crystals and chakras.

🌌 Meaning, composition and properties of Amethyst

Chemically, amethyst is silicon dioxide (SiO₂) with traces of iron, which give the stone its purple color. Spiritually, amethyst represents:

• Intuition & insight – helps you trust your inner wisdom.
• Calm & clarity – soothes stress, tension, and overthinking.
• Spiritual growth – supports meditation and inner development.
• Protection – creates an energetic shield against negative influences.

Because of these qualities, amethyst is often used in crystal meditation to bring focus and peace of mind.
