Amethyst Care:
It is always important to take proper care of your amethysts and make sure they are fully charged in order to get the best results out of them. Avoid leaving your amethyst in the water or sun for too long to keep them from getting damaged or faded. To recharge your stone, place it in a bowl of dry salt away from any nearby water. Let the stone sit in direct sunlight for anywhere between 30 minutes to four hours. The sunlight will help supercharge your stone. After you have completed this task, run your amethyst under cool, filtered water and let it air dry after setting it on a towel.
