Raw amethyst keeps the crystal's natural, broken form, so the stone's violet colour plays in deep, vivid shades from pale lavender to rich purple. This pendant of about 2 cm shows off that natural beauty 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 regarded as a stone of calm and clarity, linked to the crown chakra and the third eye; many see it as a support for serenity and meditation. These meanings belong to the stone's cultural story rather than to any medical effect.
Make
The pendant shows the crystal in its natural, uncut form, in a silver-coloured metal setting; it comes without a cord, so you are free to choose a necklace or leather strap. Shape, colour and size vary from piece to piece.
What is it for?
The raw form gives a natural yet elegant look, and the violet colour a fine, deep touch of hue. A popular piece for those who love calm, introspective 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.
