Amethyst is a form of quartz which is found globally.  The colour comes from manganese impurities in clear quartz.   Amethyst, therefore, possesses all or the characteristics of Clear Quartz, together with the additional ones described here.

Amethyst is the 'stone of spirituality' (the colour being associated with 'spirituality' also) and transforms low vibrational energies to those of higher levels.

Good for aura-clearing, it also enhances stability, strength, vigour, and peace.   Peace is the characteristic which most people associate with this stone.

Amethyst is also a strong protective stone, warding off psychic attacks, and transforming the energy of the attack into positive, loving energy, before returning it to the 'Universal Energy Pool'...

An elixir of Amethyst can be used to treat disorders of hearing, skeletal problems, posture, central nervous system, heart, stomach/digestive tract, and teeth

Another of the stones of protection, power and majesty used in the past by high-priests.
