DARK AMETHYST
Black amethyst draws most of its meaning from being a grounding crystal.
It works powerfully with the higher chakras and as such, can help awaken and open the third eye. It is also particularly meaningful for helping ward off psychic attacks.
Black amethyst derives its colouring and properties from the fact that it contains a much higher count of iron inclusions than most other crystals.
It is the iron that makes the stone appear dark grey/black.
Similar to amethyst, black amethyst crystal is a natural reliever of stress and anxiety and emanates an energy that is calming and nurturing. In a sense, black amethyst is the ultimate grounder and protector of all the stones. Since it opens the mind while connecting you to the Earth’s natural goodness and wonder, it is a crystal often used for meditation purposes.
