Hands down my favourite crystal. Amethyst is known for its calming, grounding energy and is often used to slow down an overactive mind 💜 It’s linked to mental clarity, emotional balance, and helping you feel more centered when things get overwhelming. People love it for stress relief, easing anxiety, and creating a more peaceful vibe in their space. It transmutes negative energy into positive. It’s also associated with protection (especially from negative energy), better sleep, and even deeper intuition or connection to your inner voice.
