Amethyst is the stone of spirituality and dream recall. Used for contentment and meditation. Provides common sense and flexibility in decisions. Strengthens and enhances psychic abilities, imagery and mind quieting. Wear when sleeping or when awake to reduce anger, impatience, and nightmares. Most effective on the Brow and Crown Chakra. Amethyst contains the grounding color of red with the energy of blue, which is expanding, spacious and flow of peace. Amethyst is the color that you see in the sky as twilight transitions into night. Amethyst takes you on this transition from the magic time of dusk to a conscious shift into a different place. Crossing this threshold is the lesson of humility, which Amethyst can teach us. This stone can show us how to let go and trust; surrender so that you may see beyond the cycle that consumes your attention; give it all up, so that you can receive more; and bow, that you may become a part of the greater whole. Amethyst is considered a Master Healing stone. These amethyst are vibrant stone clusters of crystals. Each piece is uniquely shaped.

I know you use Amethyst, Yannaki, to help you sleep ~ It’s funny that I have a bowl of crystals on my nightstand, mainly of Amethyst quartz crystals, and did not realize they are a sleeping aid until recently ~ In the Encyclopedia of Crystals it says Amethyst are a natural tranquilizer and says sleeping with Amethyst facilitates out-of-body experiences …Also place an amethyst under your pillow or on your nightstand to enhance sleep and dreams ~ Thanks for the lovely article! ~
Amethysts are certainly one of my favorite stones. Such beauty, and the confluence of radiating energy makes them a joy to behold! I have a very large one beside my computer to help offset and neutralize the EMFs.
Wow! – interestin’ comments im readin’ here about this beautiful stone ~
That’s so cool Joh that u have one next to ur computer – didn’t know they could do that too!! — and yes CoralinnI! ~ i do have these stones next to my bed (not under pillow kuz i tend to lose da stones…lol) – although i have still yet to see if they actually work for sleepietime :S ~ Im glad to hear u also have them next to you too!! ~
I also have a worry stone made of amethyst as well — as it is said the stone draws away negative vibes and heals with more positive ones ~ I keep it handy whenever im feelin’ uneasy ~
Such beauty in nature’s creations ~
P.S. i forgot to mention what joh said about EMF’s – a very important piece of information – since all electronic equipment emit levels of EMF’s – electromagnetic frequencies – which can have an effect on our nervous systems and our brains — in fact, too much EMF’s can make someone feel paranoid!! ~ very fascinatin’!!
That’s quite interesting information about EMFs! ~ You gave me an idea to bring some Amethyst crystals to my office … Not only are they beautiful to look at but good to know they are a health benefit against electromagnetic frequencies – I am around electronic equipment (mainly my desk computer) at work all day ~ Thank you Seva and Yannaki!!
I love amethyst, definitely one of my favorite gemstones. My dear sister, Jeanette (Suncatcher) taught me so much about the healing properties of gemstones, and she made me an amethyst pendant with matching earrings, so beautiful. We visited Wegner Crystal Mines in Arkansas last year where they have a 4400 pound amethyst geode! Follow the link below to see a photo of it …

As I stood there by this incredible miracle of nature, and felt the energy coming from it, I realized how on the outside, it looks like a regular rock, but on the inside, the beauty is indescribable… same as all of us.
Thanks for sharing Yannaki…
