Amethyst: The Stone That Started Everything

If there is one crystal that started the journey of Shreem Crystals, it is amethyst. Shreyes Om first encountered it as a young student and felt something he could not immediately explain. That feeling became a question, and that question became five years of research, hundreds of clients, and the practice you see today.

So what is amethyst, really?

What it is

Amethyst is a variety of quartz, composed of silicon dioxide with trace amounts of iron that give it the distinctive violet colour. It forms in geodes and alluvial deposits and is found across Brazil, Uruguay, Zambia, and India.

The word comes from the ancient Greek amethystos, meaning not intoxicated. The Greeks believed amethyst protected against intoxication and wore it in drinking vessels. This gives you a sense of how long human beings have been drawn to this stone and how seriously they took its properties.

What clients have reported

Across 300 cases at Shreem Crystals, amethyst has featured in protocols for:

• Chronic headaches and migraines
• Anxiety and overthinking
• Sleep difficulties and restlessness
• Lack of clarity and mental fog
• Spiritual disconnection and lack of purpose

Many clients who received amethyst as part of their bracelet protocol reported feeling calmer and more clear-headed within two to three weeks of consistent wear. These are reported experiences, not medical claims.

Which chakras it works with

Amethyst is primarily associated with the Ajna (Third Eye) and Sahasrara (Crown) chakras. Its violet colour corresponds to the high-frequency end of the visible light spectrum, which aligns with these upper energy centres governing intuition, clarity, and spiritual awareness.

How to care for amethyst

Amethyst can fade in prolonged direct sunlight, so store it away from south-facing windows. Cleanse it monthly under running water or by placing it on a selenite slab overnight. Charge it on a full moon windowsill.

A note on quality

Not all amethyst sold in India is genuine. Dyed glass, synthetic stones, and low-grade material are common in the market. At Shreem Crystals, every stone is personally selected by Shreyes Om for quality and energetic integrity before it becomes part of a personalised bracelet.
