Amethyst is a stone that doesn’t benefit from purification via natural light – especially sunlight. If you’re wanting to learn how to cleanse amethyst properly, you’ll need to go back to where it all began. 

Amethyst is a powerful metaphysical stone. It is said to enhance natural psychic abilities, as well as act as an energetic tranquilizer for highly stressed out humans. The best way to cleanse amethyst is to actually bury it under the ground for a minimum of 24 hours, allowing the stone to reconnect to its energetic roots. Leaving your stone where it can absorb the moonlight for several hours will also help recharge it.
