It can handle a brief rinse, but avoid prolonged soaking, and keep it out of long stretches of direct, strong sunlight, since amethyst's purple can fade with extended exposure. Skip harsh chemical cleaners. Some people like to refresh a crystal's energy periodically — resting it near (not on) selenite, or setting it under moonlight, are optional rituals rather than requirements for its physical care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is an amethyst heart?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn amethyst heart is a polished heart-shaped carving cut from natural purple amethyst, sized to hold comfortably in the palm.
