Crystal skulls are human skull hardstone carvings made of clear or milky white quartz, claimed to be pre-Columbian Mesoamerican artifacts by their alleged finders; however, these claims have been refuted for all of the specimens made available for scientific studies. –Wikipedia
Color: Purple
Chakra(s): third eye and crown
Astrological sign(s): Aquarius
Mohs scale: 7
Spiritual uses: Amethyst stimulates the third eye and all six “clairs” (or sensory gifts): clairvoyance, clairaudience, claircognizance, clairsentience, clairolfaction, and clairgustation. These are terms for the ability to spiritually see, hear, know, sense, smell, and taste the truth. Use this purple-toned quartz to ward off nightmares and encourage sweet dreams and restful sleep. It is also good to help you remember your dreams. Amethyst helps protect you from psychic attacks and clear out the negative thoughts of the day
Mental uses: The purple vibration in amethyst has powerful transformative qualities. To use this vibration in changing unwanted situations, imagine yourself surrounded by a vibrating, glowing bubble of violet light emanating from the stone. As you imagine this, know that all that you are upset about or challenged by is currently being transformed and transmuted into something powerful.
Emotional uses: When you realize your emotions need to be transformed or significantly shifted, amethyst’s purple energy gives you the strength and wherewithal to make the change.
Physical uses: Since amethyst derives its name from the Greek word “amethystos” meaning “not drunk” or “not intoxicated,” carry or wear this stone to remind you to avoid harmful distractions and to change old habits through conscious intent.
Divine guidance: Are you in touch with your spiritual side? Have you been having prophetic dreams? Are you ready to transform your life? Through your spiritual connection with the Divine, you can receive intuitive insights to help you in your daily life.
