Violet polished amethyst shaped into a moon (crescent), about 4 cm. The deep purple shade and the arc of the crescent together radiate a calm, contemplative mood – a lovely accent for a bedside table, a shelf or a moon altar, and a thoughtful gift.
Amethyst, the stone of calm
Amethyst is the violet variety of quartz; its shade ranges from pale lavender to deep violet, 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.
The moon as a symbol
The crescent moon is an ancient symbol of change, cycles and renewal. Paired with the deep colour of amethyst, it evokes the mood of quiet, inward evening moments.
Properties and size
The piece is made from natural amethyst and measures about 4 cm. As a genuine mineral, colour intensity and exact shape vary from piece to piece and may differ from the picture.
Care
A soft, barely damp cloth is enough to clean it. Amethyst's shade can fade over time in strong sunlight, so it is best kept out of direct sun.
