February's official birthstone is Amethyst. It's a well-known crystal and often times one that people include in their collection, especially as they're just beginning their crystal journey. Its rich purple hue makes it a natural stress reliever and can be used in spaces or situations when you need to bring in a calm or protective energy. Amethyst offers clarity, balance, and harmony, and its peaceful, blissful energy makes a great addition to your bedside table or under your pillow for a good night sleep.
Amethyst vibrates with the energy of the Violet Ray and can be an integral part of your practice if you're seeking spiritual growth. It vibrates at a high frequency and can assist in accessing a higher consciousness and higher realms. It surrounds you in a shield of Light and is important for Lightworkers and energy healing practitioners to incorporate in their practices. Wearing Amethyst as jewelry or carrying pocket stones can bring this protective energy close into your energy field and foster feelings of peace and safety. Because Amethyst is so protective and shielding, it's necessary to keep it cleansed and charged. Routinely smudging with sage, under the Full Moon, or using sound vibrations from a singing bowl or drum can keep your Amethyst positive and bright with energy.
For those seeking to develop their intuition, it opens up your Crown and Third Eye Chakras. If the Third Eye Chakra is blocked you may experience difficultly with decision making, negative thought processes, or nervousness. Opening up or unblocking your Third Eye Chakra can help you clearly navigate challenges, receive inspiration, and promote an optimistic perspective.
