The smooth surface of polished amethyst brings out the stone's deep violet and glassy lustre. This larger, more emphatic pendant of about 3.2 cm shows off the quartz's rich shade in a silver-coloured setting.
About amethyst
Amethyst is the violet variety of quartz, owing its colour to iron and natural irradiation. It is around 7 on the Mohs scale, with major sources in Brazil, Uruguay and Zambia. In tradition it is known as a stone of calm and clarity, linked to the crown chakra and the third eye; many see it as a support for meditation. These meanings belong to the stone's cultural story rather than to any medical effect.
Make
The pendant holds a polished, smooth amethyst in a silver-coloured metal setting; it comes without a cord, so you are free to choose a necklace or leather strap. The larger, roughly 3.2 cm size makes a more emphatic piece. Colour and size may vary slightly from piece to piece.
What is it for?
Its deep violet makes an elegant yet calm piece that looks good with both light and dark clothing. A popular choice for those who love polished, glossy stones.
Good to know
This is a natural mineral, so every piece is unique. It is best kept out of prolonged, strong sunlight, which can fade the violet over time, and wiped with a soft cloth.
