It measures 7 on the Mohs hardness scale. Natural quartz. Colour comes from traces of iron and natural irradiation. Chevron amethyst shows bands of purple and milky white quartz in a V-shaped pattern. Amethyst was set into the rings of medieval bishops and appears in the British Crown Jewels. ## Traditions (belief, not health claims) Carving stone into meaningful shapes is an ancient art, from Chinese jade to Egyptian scarabs. A shape adds its own symbolism to the stone. 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. We share these as cultural traditions and personal beliefs only, never as health claims. ## How to use - Hold it during a few minutes of quiet reflection. - Stand it on a desk, bedside table or altar where you'll see it. - It pairs traditionally with selenite or clear quartz. - Grid idea: crystal grids arrange stones in a pattern such as a circle or the Flower of Life around a central piece and a written intention. - Moon idea: many collectors set their stones out on the night of the full moon and bring them back in the next morning. - Gifting idea: wrap it in a small cloth pouch with a handwritten note about the stone's traditional meaning. ## Care - Wipe with a smooth, slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away; avoid soaps, salt and long soaks. Strong sunlight can fade amethyst over time, so display it out of direct sun. - Dust regularly and keep away from hard surfaces that could chip it. ## Policies - Delivery: UK delivery £3.95, free over £40, 2–5 working days.
