Amethyst is not only treasured for its spiritual properties, but also for its physical healing properties and amethyst metaphysical properties. Amethyst is known to help with anxiety, depression, clear the mind, wash away toxic thinking, encourage solid sleep patterns, and ease tension and headaches. A gemstone commonly associated with royalty thanks to its purple coloring, amethysts have been used to symbolize deep love, happiness, humility, sincerity, and wealth for centuries.
