3. What bad effects does Amethyst stone have?
Like I said above, sometimes amethyst can over-ground you. Don’t be alarmed, it is nothing scary unless you rectify it.

All you need to do is any one of the gemstoneLapis Lazuli, Apatite or Shattuckitetounground yourself.
Besides making you too grounded, amethyst can be toxic to your mind if you’re trying to curse.
Hear from Marilyn who wrote to us in a private message-
Amethyst is the best stone toground yourself from the negativityandburdening evilthat has accumulated over you. When you’re feeling depressed or sad, amethyst can get rid of the nagging mind chatter from your bran. That being said, there’s no use of amethyst for physical grounding as it is an exclusively spiritual grounding stone.
How to ground using an amethyst?
Clean your amethyst with a clear quartz by circling the stone thrice.
Stand straight.
Keep the amethyst on your crown chakra or forehead.
Close your eyes.
Imagine the purple rays of amethyst entering your crown, moving towards third eye, throat, heart, solar plexus, sacral and final root chakra and then splitting into two parts into your feet.
Hold the imagination at your feet and release it with all your energy into the ground.
