These vibrant purple Amethyst Wands from Brazil are small, but mighty. They are hexagonal in shape, pointed on one end, and have a wonderful translucence. Mini-fractures create a wonderful crystalline universe of phantoms and rainbows within the wands. Get one for yourself or use as a perfect and unique gift for that special someone!
Amethyst is perhaps the best loved of all the quartz varieties. Its warm purple glow is a favorite in home decorating, and it’s widely used as a Feng Shui element and for meditation. Amethyst is also the traditional and modern birthstone for those born in the month of February, which makes it a great birthday present.
Color: The color of Amethyst varies significantly from light to deep purple in different light sources.
Dimensions: Varies – approx. 2.75” to 3.5” long x 0.5 to 0.75 wide
Mineralogy: Amethyst's purple color is due to small amounts (about 40 parts per million) of iron impurities in the crystal structure of quartz. Amethyst has been found in siliceous volcanics, occurring as macroscopic crystals and druzy coverings inside of agate-lined cavities, often forming geodes. Amethyst also occurs in quartz veins.
Metaphysical Properties: Amethyst is a calming and meditative stone that can help bring emotional stability. A useful stone for meditation and lucid dreaming, Amethyst works in the emotional, spiritual and physical planes.
