Spiritual and Healing Properties of Amethyst:

Spiritual and Calming

Amethyst I use to keep me in touch with my spiritual side and connected to what is going on with myself as well as others. It allows me to act for the best of all instead of self even when it may not be what I would consider to be what is best for me. It keeps me calm and allows me to feel that I have enough time to do what I need to do even when time is limited.

It allows me to work slowly even when I am feeling the need to rush and this allows me to do things right the first time instead of having to redo things because I rushed through them. Amethyst does not like the sunlight at all but likes the moonlight, sea water, and cold (loves being under snow or in the freezer as a way of cleaning it and recharging it) it is a good stone for a creative person to have around because it does work so well at calming them.
