Amethyst is a stone that comes in a variety of violet quartz. We make no claims that you will have better health. In many cultures it is believed to bring the wearer a sense of relief from stress and anxiety in life. Some people believe that it alleviates the symptoms of headaches, fatigue and anxiety. Some people believe have it improves their digestion, regulates their hormones and alleviates the pain in their joints. Many intergrative healers use mats made of amethyst for healing sessions with their clients. We dedicated a whole page to Amethyst because we believe it may help as did the ancient Greeks. The Greek word for Amethyst is ametusthos which means, "not intoxicated". Sounds good to us.
