Wearing stones as amulets is ancient; Egyptian, Greek and Roman jewellery frequently carried stones held to protect or bring luck. Its name comes from the Greek amethystos, 'not intoxicated', and in older European tradition it was carried as a stone of sobriety and calm thinking. Today it is one of the most popular stones for a quiet corner or meditation shelf. In modern crystal tradition amethyst is linked with the crown and third eye chakra and with Pisces, Aquarius and Virgo. Traditional meanings are offered for interest and reflection, not as a health claim. ## How to use - Take it off before swimming, bathing or exercise. - Wear it as a daily reminder of an intention. - It pairs traditionally with selenite or clear quartz. - Care idea: take it off for swimming, baths, the gym and when applying perfume or lotion. - Storage idea: keep each piece in its own pouch so stones don't scratch each other. - Fit tip: roll elastic bracelets on and off rather than stretching them over the hand. ## Care - Wipe with a smooth, slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away; avoid soaps, salt and long soaks. Strong sunlight can fade amethyst over time, so display it out of direct sun. - Remove before showering or swimming, and keep away from perfume and lotions. ## Policies - Delivery: UK delivery £3.95, free over £40, 2–5 working days.
