From the maker: This small Amethyst point is a beautiful choice for anyone who loves crystals with rich colour and a polished, display-ready shape. Its deep purple tones and pointed form make it easy to style 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. 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. Size: approximately 5.5cm. Natural material varies slightly in size, colour and markings. ## Traditions (belief, not health claims) In crystal tradition a point is held to direct energy along its length, so points are frequently placed facing into a room or toward a person during meditation. The obelisk shape echoes the monuments of ancient Egypt, which pointed toward the sun. 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 - Some people put a point on a written intention or in a crystal grid. - Stand it upright on a flat spot or altar. - It pairs traditionally with selenite or clear quartz. - Bathroom caution: keep softer or water-sensitive stones out of steamy rooms. - Children: small stones and points are not toys for under-threes, as they are a choking hazard. - Photography tip: natural daylight on an overcast day shows a stone's true colour best. ## 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. - Protect the tip from knocks; store it upright or wrapped. ## Policies - Delivery: UK delivery £3.95, free over £40, 2–5 working days.
