If I could only choose one crystal to recommend to someone new to this path, it would be Amethyst. And if you’ve been in the spiritual world for a while, you’ll know why.

Amethyst is the grandmother stone, the trusted elder, the calm presence that has been leaned on for centuries. From royal crowns to rosaries, from temples to bedside tables, Amethyst has held a reputation for protection, peace, and spiritual wisdom.

I remember one woman in circle telling me that Amethyst was the first crystal she ever bought, and it has been with her through heartbreaks, big life shifts, and even her first steps into meditation. “It feels like it never leaves me,” she said. And that’s the truth of Amethyst, it’s a companion for the whole journey.

Use it to release tension at the end of the day. Place it in your sacred space to keep your energy clear. Meditate with it to open your crown and connect with divine wisdom. Amethyst isn’t just a crystal. It’s a legacy of healing.
