What do purple crystals mean?
In the crystal-healing tradition, purple crystals are the stones of intuition and spirit. Cassandra works with them at the Third Eye and Crown for insight, calm, and spiritual connection. Amethyst is the classic purple stone, read as protective and intuitive.
The meaning of purple crystals
Purple stones carry the quality of the threshold between waking and dreaming. In my practice they are the stones for intuition, for meditation, and for a mind that will not settle at night.
Traditionally linked to the Third Eye and Crown chakras, purple crystals like Amethyst are read as enhancing intuition and spiritual awareness. Amethyst has been worn for sobriety and clarity since antiquity.
