About amethyst

Cushion cuts have soft, rounded corners and are a traditional choice for bold ring settings. 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. Traditionally, a qualified astrologer reviews the chart first, since the right gem varies from person to person. Its traditional associations are symbolic, not promises of any result.

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. A common rule of thumb in gemstone astrology is a weight in Ratti that relates to body weight, but recommendations differ between astrologers.

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. Most wearers check with an astrologer beforehand; a report can be booked on Brahmatells.
