What it is
Tumble Stones - Amethyst Banded Band A is a natural amethyst piece.
Materials and size
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.
Traditional uses
People have collected and carried stones as amulets for thousands of years. In modern crystal practice each stone carries traditional associations; these are beliefs, not health claims. 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 it
- Keep it in a pocket, on a desk or in a crystal grid.
- Hold it during meditation as a point of focus.
