The violet color comes from trace iron in the quartz lattice, deepened by natural irradiation within the host rock. Mohs 7. The point is cut with a flat base so it stands independently, the banding reading clearly from any angle.The name amethyst comes from the ancient Greek amethystos—“not drunken”—reflecting a classical belief in its calming properties. It is the traditional February birthstone and is associated in the chakra tradition with the crown and third-eye centers, and with meditative states and mental clarity.A standing display piece for a desk, shelf, or bedside—each one banded differently by the specifics of its own growth.
