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. We share these as cultural traditions and personal beliefs only, never as health claims. ## How to use - Build a seasonal Samhain or Halloween display. - Mix with candles, dried flowers and books for an all-year gothic shelf. - It pairs traditionally with selenite or clear quartz. - Altar idea: build around the four elements: a candle for fire, incense for air, a stone for earth and water in a bowl. - Seasonal idea: refresh the altar at each festival of the Wheel of the Year, from Imbolc to Yule. - Small-space idea: a single shelf, a windowsill or a tray can hold a complete altar. ## Care - Wipe with a smooth, slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away; avoid soaps, salt and long soaks.
