Amethyst has a strong healing and cleansing power, it transmutes negativity to love, and enhances spiritual awareness. Amethyst is used by people in meditation as it turns thoughts away from the mundane into tranquillity and deeper understanding. Although it helps you to feel less scattered, more focused and in control of your faculties, amethyst also enhances the assimilation of new ideas and connects cause with effect.
