Amethyst is a beautiful crystal and it has a powerful range of healing energy. It is known as a very soothing healing crystal that can be used on almost any part of the body and spirit. Amethyst is believed to cleanse the body of ailments and soothe pain, giving your body the chance to heal. It is used to relieve pain and soothe inflammation, fever and infection. The healing power of amethyst also extends to the mind. Its soothing qualities are said to create a tranquil, spiritual environment in which spiritual development and psychic work can take place. It is powerfully aligned with Ajna Chakra and is also believed to relieve stress.
Quartz is without question the most important of all healing crystals. It is used to channel healing energy and can also focus, amplify, store and transmit energy. Clear quartz is considered powerfully healing and cleansing but all the different varieties have their own attributes. Below are some of the most beneficial and our full range of quartz healing crystals includes some very rare and hard to find crystals.
