Amethyst

Instead of adding all the details of each crystal to individual listings, I knew I wanted to create a space on my website to talk about crystals, the industry, and also the metaphysical properties some believe crystals hold. So, where better to begin then with 1 of the most popular crystals (at least in my opionion) Amethyst. Purple is my favorite color and does it really get any better than deep purple Amethyst.
