In lithotherapy, raw amethyst is often preferred over polished versions for healing practices, meditation, or space purification. The reason is simple: the raw form preserves the integrity of the quartz's crystalline structure, which is believed to promote a more direct and intense diffusion of energy.
The most common uses for raw amethyst:
In meditation: held in hand or placed in front of you, it helps calm the flow of thoughts and facilitates entering a state of deep concentration.
In a living space: placed on furniture or a shelf, it purifies the atmosphere and brings a sense of serenity to the space.
In the bedroom: placed on the nightstand or under the pillow, it promotes restful sleep and wards off nightmares.
In energy healing: therapists use it to rebalance the crown chakra and soothe mental tension.
Raw points are particularly effective for directing energy, while clusters and geodes diffuse their energy throughout the room. It's a matter of intention and usage.
