I often get people asking for recommendations when just getting into working with crystals. I usually answer with: Amethyst!
I may be a little bias, as it is one of my most favorite crystals of all time. But I also recommend this high vibin' crystal because it has so many amazing & beneficial properties that are so easy to begin harnessing!
I always recommend working with high vibrational minerals to get started in understanding properties and working with energies. I find most people have little trouble matching it's vibrations (in fact, most people are drawn to it), which makes for less frustrated meditations & disappointing grids and more energy work & intentions!
So What Does It Look Like?

Amethyst's Lore
In Greek Mythology, there's a story of a young maiden, Amethysta, who is on her way to make an offering to the Goddess Diana. Unfortunately, she crossed paths with Bacchus, God of Wine; who had been enraged by a mortal and doomed the next one he see a death by his two tigers. The Goddess Diana quickly turns Amethysta to quartz crystal statue, to spare her the brutal fate. Bacchus is moved by the act and weeps red wine all over her stature, enriching her with deep purple hues.
