Amethyst crystals are one of the world’s most popular gemstones and have been in use for thousands of years. Believed healing properties of the stone are rather impressive and trace back to ancient Greek beliefs. In fact, the word ‘amethyst’ comes from the Greek word amethystos, which means sober and alludes to the idea of maintaining a solid, sober mindset 💜 Natural amethyst stones are connected to the third eye and crown chakras.
