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 - Rest it on a desk, bedside table or altar where you'll see it. - Hold it during a few minutes of quiet reflection. - It pairs traditionally with selenite or clear quartz. - Placement idea: a windowsill that catches the morning light (but not harsh midday sun) shows off colour and inclusions beautifully. - Desk idea: keep it beside your keyboard as a cue to pause, breathe and look away from the screen for a moment. - Bedside idea: some people hold a stone for a minute before sleep and set one small intention for the next day. ## Care - Wipe with a fine, slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away; steer clear of soaps, salt and long soaks. Strong sunlight can fade amethyst over time, so showcase it out of direct sun. - Dust regularly and keep away from hard surfaces that could chip it. ## Policies - Delivery: UK delivery £3.95, free over £40, 2–5 working days.
