AMETHYST

Amethyst is a form of quartz. The most common color is purple, although you can also find heat-treated versions. The word amethyst comes from the Greek amethystos, meaning “not Drunken” which speaks to the traditional use of amethyst as a stone to prevent drunkenness. It also brings safety to travelers and is related to the third eye, which is seat of intuition. Many use the stone for other issues as well, such as transmuting negativity with insomnia and dreams, making this valuable all-purpose stone.
