Amethyst is a powerful stone, known as the "all purpose stone" because it can be used for almost any type of healing. It's a protective stone, helping to relieve stress and anxiety in your life, and the symptoms that accompany it, namely headaches, fatigues, and anxiety. It also aids in cell regeneration (supporting your bones and joints) and is reputed to improve your skin.
Amethyst is a member of the quartz family but has a slightly blue tint that gives it a unique and beautiful appearance. Amethyst crystals tend to be large and clear with what seems like a starry pattern inside them when held up to the light. If you have trouble finding or afford an amethyst crystal, you can buy amethyst jewelry instead!
