Amythest is the Purple Crystal par excellence:

Amethyst and Transition
Amethyst has come to be known by many as a healing stone 
that helps to ease any difficulties in transition in any 
circumstance. Great healers have found that amethyst 
works to not only aide a journeying soul but also helps those 
who's soul yearn to achieve higher levels of spirituality. The 
crystal is said to transform energies from a lower vibration 
to a higher vibrational energy. It also transforms energy 
from a ordinary to a deeper level of consciousness. It has 
the capacity to awaken spirituality on all levels of social, 
emotional, intellectual and physical consciousness. 
Amethyst aides it's carrier (stone, crystal, power jewelry) 
find more easily a common ground in unsure decisions. 
The violet color is reminiscent of that of the sky at dusk 
and the passage of one reality to another. It aides those 
who have lost a loved one in accepting the passage and 
healing that death and rebirth bring. 

Amethyst and Spiritual Healing
The importance of spiritual awareness is a characteristic 
known to be brought out and enhanced by amethyst. The 
acknowledgement of this type of realization is crucial to 
spiritual healing and meditation. Amethyst also acts as a 
protector in its reversion of negative energy. It has been 
said to protect against manipulative situations by helping 
to provide a more in depth perspective and opening the 
spirit's eye to higher connectivity with that outside of 
concrete reason. Not only is amethyst a crucial resource 
for meditation, it is also a calming and enabling agent in 
sleep and rest in times of physical and spiritual exhaust. 
As a healing crystal and in elixir and healing jewelry form, 
it acts as a balancing and aligning agent for disrupted 
spiritual energies. 

Amethyst and Peace
By many spiritualists revere amethyst as a stone of peace. 
It has long been a symbol of many religious for peace, 
purity and unification. It has been noted as containing a 
peace that was known before birth. It has been used often
in meditation because of it's ability to help it's carrier to 
maintain a peaceful serenity. Those who suffer from 
insomnia, addiction and low self esteem have often been 
recommended this stone for it's tranquility and protective 
characteristics. It calms the mind and spiritually awakens 
those who seek enlightenment. As it pacifies that which is 
agitated within the self it also allows for acquiring more 
expansive states of realization. 

Vibrations of Amethyst 
As mentioned above it is a characteristic of amethyst to 
transform energies of low vibrational energy to those of 
higher potency, it also reacts and is sensitive to certain 
vibrational numbers. Although multiples of 3 have related 
characteristics amethyst is said to have the vibrational 
character of #3, #6 and #33.
