Amethyst is a powerful and very protective stone that has long been known to counteract stress, anxiety and depression. It is also an excellent stone for the sixth sense and can help the wearer focus and think clearly. Placing an amethyst under the pillow can help with difficulty falling asleep and insomnia.
The name comes from the Greek and means “not drunk.” In ancient times, it was believed that drunkenness could be avoided if one drank wine from an amethyst glass.
