Amethyst is a meditative and calming stone which works in the emotional, spiritual, and physical planes to provide calm, balance, patience, and peace. It is a stone of spiritual protection and purification, cleansing one's energy field of negative influences and attachments, and creating a resonant shield of spiritual Light around the body. It acts as a barrier against lower energies, psychic attack, stress and unhealthy environments.  Amethyst has strong healing and cleansing powers.
 
A Butterfly is thought to represent change and transformation, comfort, hope, and positivity. While some believe ancestors communicate through butterflies, others take the presence of these creatures as a joyous or hopeful sign.
