Amethyst is for those days when your brain will not shut up, everyone seems to need something from you, and finding five minutes of peace feels like a ridiculous luxury.
 
It is often chosen for calm, focus and helping you settle some of that mental noise so you can hear yourself think again.
 
This crystal is a beauty!  It is highly polished and smooth in your hand, with layers of purple, cloudy phantom patterns and incredible depth inside. Then there is the part that makes this one really special. Turn it toward the light and a large natural rainbow suddenly flashes from within the stone, throwing out little bursts of colour that almost seem hidden until you find the right angle. It is one of those crystals you will keep turning over just to see what else is in there.  I've included a video with this one so you can really get a closer look at these rainbows.  It's a windy day here in Northern Ontario, so you might hear the trees.
 
The surface is wonderfully smooth with a few tiny natural bumps here and there. Your crystal measures 1¾ inches long by under 3/4 inches wide in some areas and comes ready to wear on a black cord necklace with a clasp in the length you choose.
 
Amethyst has long been connected with meditation, dream work, divination and intuition. It can be especially helpful when you are trying to quiet the background chatter, focus on what you are actually feeling, or trust your own inner voice instead of second guessing every thought that wanders through your head. If your spiritual practice includes tarot, spirit work or developing your psychic skills, Amethyst is one of those classic crystals that earns its place nearby.
