About amethyst

Square cuts give a clean, geometric look and sit flat in bezel 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.

Set the stone in a ring, pendant or bracelet of your choice. Many wearers choose a setting that lets the back of the stone touch the skin, and follow the day, finger and metal advised by their astrologer.

Care

Give it an occasional wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Durable enough for regular wear, though sprays, perfume and knocks can still dull or damage it.

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. Expect the colour to look slightly different in sunlight and lamplight. This page does not list lab certification or treatment details. Message us first if you need them for this stone.

A common pre-purchase question: check the listing details and photos first, then message us if anything is unclear.

FAQs

What weight is right for me?

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.

Should I check with an astrologer first?

Tradition says a gem's suitability depends on the individual horoscope. Consulting first is common practice, and an astrological report is available on Brahmatells.

Is certification provided?

No certification is listed here. If you need a lab report for a specific stone, message us before ordering.
