## Description

M Tumble Stones - Amethyst Banded (Grade B) is a natural amethyst piece.

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.

February's traditional birthstone is amethyst, which makes it a popular birthday gift. African amethyst is often a deeper, more saturated purple than Brazilian material.

## Traditions (belief, not health claims)

In modern crystal practice each stone carries traditional associations; these are beliefs, not health claims. People have collected and carried stones as amulets for thousands of years. 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 meditation as a point of focus.
- Keep it in a pocket, on a desk or in a crystal grid.
- 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 gentle, slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away; keep away from soaps, salt and long soaks. Strong sunlight can fade amethyst over time, so display it out of direct sun.
