From the maker: In this necklace amethyst is raw, unpolished and has characteristic imperfections on its surface. That is why each pendant has a bit different size and shape. Amethyst is a purple variety of quartz, typically violet to deep purple. It measures 7 on the Mohs hardness scale. Natural quartz. Colour comes from traces of iron and natural irradiation. Amethyst was set into the rings of medieval bishops and appears in the British Crown Jewels. February's traditional birthstone is amethyst, which makes it a popular birthday gift. Size: approximately 50cm. Natural material varies slightly in size, colour and markings. ## Traditions (belief, not health claims) Wearing stones as amulets is ancient; Egyptian, Greek and Roman jewellery often carried stones thought to protect or bring luck. In modern practice many people choose a stone for what it symbolises to them and wear it as a reminder of an intention. Its name comes from the Greek amethystos, 'not intoxicated', and in older European tradition it was carried as a stone of sobriety and calm thinking. Today it is one of the most popular stones for a quiet corner or meditation shelf. In modern crystal tradition amethyst is linked with the crown and third eye chakra and with Pisces, Aquarius and Virgo. These are traditions and beliefs, described for interest, not health or medical claims. ## How to use - Wear it as a daily reminder of an intention. - Take it off before swimming, bathing or exercise. - It pairs traditionally with selenite or clear quartz. - Everyday idea: wear it on the wrist you notice most, so each glance is a reminder of your intention. - Stacking idea: bracelets of different stones stack well; mix textures, such as chips with round beads. - Gifting idea: jewellery is the classic birthstone gift; check the recipient's birth month first. ## Care - Wipe with a fine, slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away; steer clear of soaps, salt and long soaks. Strong sunlight can fade amethyst over time, so showcase it out of direct sun. - Remove before showering or swimming, and keep away from perfume and lotions. ## Policies - Delivery: UK delivery £3.95, free over £40, 2–5 working days.
