The slide for amethyst is in the classroom under Monthly Crystal Lessons.
This month’s crystal is Amethyst, one of the most loved and recognizable stones out there. Known for its calming energy and deep purple color, it’s been used for centuries as both a healing ally and a spiritual companion.
Amethyst is a variety of quartz found all over the world, from Brazil to South Korea, and even here in North America. Its name comes from the Greek word amethystos, meaning “not intoxicated,” because ancient cultures believed it could protect against drunkenness and keep the mind clear.
On a practical level, Amethyst is used to:
- Calm an anxious or overactive mind
- Support better sleep and rest
- Encourage balance during emotional stress
- Help break unhealthy habits or patterns
Spiritually, Amethyst is tied to clarity, intuition, and spiritual protection. It’s connected to both the third eye and crown chakras, helping to quiet the mind while opening space for insight, trust, and connection to higher guidance. Many use it during meditation or rituals to deepen focus and find inner stillness.
In this first slide, you’ll get a feel for the energy of Amethyst and its role throughout history. As we move through the month, we’ll explore its metaphysical properties, practical uses, and a few ways to bring its energy into your everyday life.
Your task: After reading the slide, share how you’ve experienced Amethyst before. Do you already use it in your home or rituals, or is this your first time working with it?
