This Amethyst was mined by the Shangaan Tribe in Zimbabwe. This tribe follows certain rules as they collect Amethyst, such as refilling holes dug, planting new trees, etc. This type of Amethyst brings a connection between the collector and the people who retrieved the crystal. You’ll also see amazing natural growths of Lepidocrocite inside, as well as smoky zones.

Amethyst metaphysical properties:
Highly intuitive. If I’m doing some mind exercises, intuition development, or anything pertaining to spirituality, Amethyst is my go-to. It resonates with so many people, it’s a mineral that holds much fascination.
Why do crystals have bubbles inside? When crystals have moving bubbles, it’s called a fluid inclusion (different than an en hydro). Fluid inclusions are natural, and are a result of liquids that were present during the formation of the crystal, and became entrapped, and encapsulated within the mineral forever.
