These beautiful finds hail all the way from Brazil! Shards are perfect as wands to activate your crystal grids as well as holding them during meditations. You can hold 1 in your left hand point towards you and another in your right hand point away from you, and allow the crystals to recycle your energy through your chakras. Again amethyst pulls out negativity so you don't absord it. Using crystals to clean your aura can be really helpful for Empaths!
