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. Vedic practice normally starts with a horoscope review by a qualified astrologer before a gemstone is chosen. Tradition attaches meaning to the gem, but no result is promised.

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. This listing does not include lab or treatment details. Message us first if you need them for this stone.

FAQs

What weight is right for me?

Weight is a matter of budget, the size you want and, for astrological use, your astrologer's advice. A common rule of thumb in gemstone astrology is a weight in Ratti that relates to body weight, but recommendations differ between astrologers.

Should I check with an astrologer first?

Gemstone astrology holds that the right stone depends on your chart. Consulting first is common practice, and an astrological report is available on Brahmatells.

Is certification provided?
