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. Traditionally, a qualified astrologer reviews the chart first, since the right gem varies from person to person. Tradition attaches meaning to the gem, but no result is promised.

FAQs

How do I pick a weight?

Weight is a matter of budget, the size you want and, for astrological use, your astrologer's advice. There is a familiar body-weight rule for Ratti, but astrologers do not all follow it.

Is it advisable to consult before wearing?

Gemstone astrology suggests that suitability depends on your horoscope. Most wearers check with an astrologer beforehand; a report can be booked on Brahmatells.

Is there a lab certificate?

Certification is not listed on this page. Ask us before ordering if a lab report matters for this stone.
