When the stresses of everyday life well up within you, hold an amethyst in your hand. The amethyst calms fears, raises hopes, lifts the spirits and promotes thoughts of the spiritual reality behind our lives. Amethyst is also used to increase psychic awareness and to sharpen the 'sixth sense' it is naturally, worn during psychic or divinatory acts. It is utilized to improve the memory to relieve headaches and to keep thoughts in line with life goals. A stone of pure, true emotional love, it is often exchanged between lovers to strengthen their commitment.
Amethyst is also one of the few stones specifically prescribed for men to use for attracting women.
