Hi everyone,
I recently purchased an amethyst crystal for my desk at work because I heard that it has a calming energy and can improve focus. However, I'm a bit concerned about exposing it to sunlight. Does anyone know if sunlight can harm amethyst in any way? I don't want to damage my crystal or diminish its energy.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Hello,
As someone who works extensively with crystals, I can tell you from personal experience that sunlight can potentially harm some varieties of amethyst. The best way to avoid any possible damage is, as others have mentioned, by not leaving your amethyst crystal in direct sunlight for extended periods of time.
In addition, I would recommend being cautious about where you source your crystals from. Cheap or inferior quality crystals can be more prone to damage and may not have the same energetically beneficial effects as high-quality, properly sourced crystals. If you're unsure about the quality of your amethyst, you might consider doing some research or consulting with a crystal expert.
Ultimately, it's important to listen to your intuition and observe the reactions of your crystals to various environmental factors. If you sense that your amethyst is unhappy or out of balance, take steps to address the issue, such as cleansing or recharging it with alternative methods, like moonlight or sound.
I hope this helps!
