In contemporary crystal work many people choose a stone for what it symbolises to them and wear it as a reminder of an intention. 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 - Wear it as a daily reminder of an intention. - Take it off before swimming, bathing or exercise. - It pairs traditionally with selenite or clear quartz. - Everyday idea: wear it on the wrist you notice most, so each glance is a reminder of your intention. - Stacking idea: bracelets of different stones stack well; mix textures, such as chips with round beads. - Gifting idea: jewellery is the classic birthstone gift; check the recipient's birth month first. ## Care - Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away; skip soaps, salt and long soaks. Strong sunlight can fade amethyst over time, so show 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. UK addresses only. - Returns: You can cancel within 14 days of delivery under the UK Consumer Contracts Regulations; email hello@starseeduk.co.uk to arrange a return and we refund within 14 days of receiving it back. - Payment: Payment is by debit or credit card (and the wallets Shopify supports) through secure Shopify checkout. ## Questions and answers (20) ### What is the Cord Necklace Gemstone Pendant - Amethyst Cross used for?
