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. 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

Gifting

Gems are given at birthdays and milestones, and are most appreciated when the recipient's chart has been considered.

Photos are a guide: gemstones differ a little in colour, clarity and inclusions from piece to piece. Expect the colour to look slightly different in sunlight and lamplight. This listing does not include lab or treatment details. Ask us before you order 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. There is a familiar body-weight rule for Ratti, but astrologers do not all follow it.

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. Consulting first is common practice, and an astrological report is available on Brahmatells.
