About amethyst

Oval cuts are the most versatile shape: they suit rings and pendants and tend to look larger for their weight. 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. The associations are traditional and symbolic, and no outcome is promised.

Setting and wearing

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.

FAQs

How do I choose the weight?

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.

Is it advisable to consult before wearing?

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 there a lab certificate?

No certification is listed here. Need a lab report for a particular stone? Message us before you order.
