## Description

Medium Rich Colour Amethyst Points (approx 5.5-6.5cm) is a polished amethyst point around 6.5cm tall, cut with flat faces that rise to a tip.

From the maker: This medium Amethyst point is a striking piece for anyone who loves rich purple crystals with a polished, display-ready finish. Its deeper colour and clean pointed shape make it stand out beautifully on a shelf, desk, bedside table, altar or meditation space.

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 6.5cm. Natural material varies slightly in size, colour and markings.

## Traditions (belief, not health claims)

The obelisk shape echoes the monuments of ancient Egypt, which pointed toward the sun. In crystal tradition a point is thought to direct energy along its length, so points are often placed facing into a room or toward a person during meditation. 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

- Stand it upright on a flat surface or altar.
- Some people rest a point on a written intention or in a crystal grid.
- It pairs traditionally with selenite or clear quartz.
- Placement idea: a windowsill that catches the morning light (but not harsh midday sun) shows off colour and inclusions beautifully.
- Desk idea: keep it beside your keyboard as a cue to pause, breathe and look away from the screen for a moment.
- Bedside idea: some people hold a stone for a minute before sleep and set one small intention for the next day.

## 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.
- Protect the tip from knocks; store it upright or wrapped.
