About amethyst

Amethyst is the purple variety of quartz, ranging from soft lilac to deep violet, and it is the traditional birthstone for February. In crystal tradition it is chosen for calm, meditation and bedtime routines, and it is linked with the third-eye and crown chakras. In Jyotish, it is the gem linked with Shani (Saturn) in some Vedic traditions. In Vedic practice a gemstone is normally chosen after a chart review by a qualified astrologer, since suitability depends on the individual horoscope. Its traditional associations are symbolic, not promises of any result.

Setting and wearing

Set the stone in a ring, pendant or bracelet of your choice. A setting that lets the stone touch the skin is a common choice, along with the day, finger and metal an astrologer recommends.

Care

Give it an occasional wipe with a soft, dry cloth. It is reasonably hard-wearing; even so, keep it clear of sprays, perfume and sharp impacts.

Gifting

Gems are given at birthdays and milestones, and are most appreciated when the recipient's chart has been considered.

Each gem has its own shade, clarity and inclusions; a small difference from the photos is to be expected. Colour looks different in daylight and under indoor lighting. For a certificate or treatment information on this gem, ask before you order.

FAQs

How do I pick a weight?

The right weight comes down to budget, how large you want the stone to look and, if you follow astrology, your astrologer's guidance. Some astrologers relate the Ratti weight to body weight; others use different rules, so recommendations vary.

Which planet is Amethyst linked to?

In Jyotish, amethyst is linked with Shani (Saturn) in some Vedic traditions.

Should I check with an astrologer first?

Gemstone astrology suggests that suitability depends on your horoscope. Consulting first is common practice, and an astrological report is available on Brahmatells.
