There is something quietly grounding about a amethyst in its raw, uncut form, ready to be held and lived with. The raw piece keeps the stone's natural edges, fracture surfaces and original look — just as it formed in nature.
About amethyst
Amethyst is the violet variety of quartz; its colour comes from traces of iron and natural irradiation. It has a Mohs hardness of 7, with major sources in Brazil, Uruguay and Zambia. It typically measures 7 cm.
Amethyst in tradition
Tradition knows it as a stone of calm and clarity; chakra lore links it to the crown and third-eye centres and to supporting meditation. These meanings belong to crystal lore rather than medical fact — the stone's beauty and presence are a value in themselves.
Living with it
Its soft violet brings quiet to a bedroom or meditation corner; keep it out of strong sunlight to preserve the colour. It also makes a good companion for meditation or quiet moments, and a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves the natural beauty of minerals.
Good to know
As a natural mineral, every piece is unique: colour, size, shape and pattern may differ a little from the photo — which is exactly what makes the stone you receive one of a kind. Wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth, and avoid prolonged direct sunlight, heat sources and harsh chemicals; keep the softer stones from lasting moisture as well.
