A two-sided facial massage roller whose heads are made of natural amethyst. The cool touch of the violet stone is soothing, and it offers a pleasant, simple tool for a few minutes of soft facial massage. The use of facial rollers has long been known in Chinese culture.
Amethyst, the stone of calm
Amethyst is the violet variety of quartz, coloured by iron and natural irradiation. Its Mohs hardness is about 7, with major sources in Brazil, Uruguay and Zambia. In tradition it is regarded as a stone of calm and clarity, linked to the crown chakra and seen as a support for relaxation and meditation – which makes it a favourite for a calming evening routine.
How it is used
The larger head is for the broader areas of the face, the smaller for around the eyes. Glide it over the skin with light pressure in outward and upward movements, for a few minutes a day. With a facial oil or serum the head rolls more smoothly.
Properties and size
The roller is about 14 cm long, with a metal frame and two amethyst heads. As a natural stone, colour intensity and pattern vary from piece to piece – every one is unique.
Good to know and care
After use, wipe it with a soft cloth and keep it in a dry place away from strong, direct sunlight, as amethyst's colour can fade over time. Massage is a pleasant complement to relaxation, not a medical treatment.
