Amethyst
The ancient meaning of Amethyst means 'not intoxicated' and comes from the ancient Greek word – Amethystos. The spiritual meaning of Amethyst is groundedness, tranquility, serenity, trust and grace and for hundreds of years has been said to have healing properties.
Amethysts form in long, prismatic crystals in geodes or hollow rocks. These geodes form when there are cavities in volcanic rock. As the rock cools, the mineral-saturated water, gases and volcanic material distil and crystallize. When these crystals harden, they form amethyst.
Amethyst is one of the most popular crystals because of its beauty and unique colouration as well as its spiritual and ancient meaning. The purple colouring can range from a light shade of lilac to a deep plum colour.
