How to purify and recharge the amethyst stone?
To purify your amethyst crystals and jewelry, simply immerse them for a few hours in water (ideally demineralized) and then wipe them with a clean cloth.
To recharge them with energy, expose them to sunlight for 2 to 3 hours. Amethyst also appreciates the moonlight.
