The polished amethyst stone
This pendulum is made of polished amethyst, with a pointed tip. Amethyst is a violet-shaded, semi-transparent mineral, particularly popular as a material for ornaments and handheld tools. The longitudinal cutting of the stone creates several small flat surfaces; these gently scatter the light and make the deeper tones of the stone visible during movement. Every piece arrives for you with slight differences in colour and clarity, because this is the nature of the natural mineral.
Details of the precise form
The total length of the pendulum is approximately 5.1 centimetres. At the end of the stone there is a definite point, which helps the user guide the pendulum into a precise position or point at a specified place. At the top there is a small decorative bead, which stabilises the pendulum where the chain is fixed and also completes the piece visually.
Brass chain
According to the descriptions, the chain material is brass, a warm, yellow-gold-shaded metal alloy. Brass is a frequently used material in traditional pendulum-making because it provides sufficient strength and does not disturb the fine movement of the stone. During use, you will feel that the chain settles well in the hand and does not twist.
Natural mineral, every piece unique
Amethyst is a natural mineral, so every pendulum may differ slightly in size, colour, and clarity. The stated 5.1-centimetre length and 20-gram weight are indicative. We therefore always give you a unique piece, which is also the equivalent of the handwork of mineral working.
Cleaning and care
From time to time, you can wipe the pendulum with a soft, dry cloth. In case of heavier soiling, you may rinse it with lukewarm running water, then immediately wipe it dry. Please avoid chemicals, perfumes, and scented soaps. Like many other crystals, the stone does not like prolonged, direct sunlight: during longer storage, keep it in a shaded place. Place the chain loosely and untwisted between uses.
