Amethyst Specimens on Agate
About this Specimen:
This beautiful piece is super sparkly and reflective. Something about how clear it is and the shade of purple kinda reminds me of candy. And it has a lot of iron ore staining in the agate and the amethyst as well, giving it some pink tones in areas.

We picked up these pieces on our travel, and then lugged them everywhere, and then lugged them back to Singapore. We even had to handcarry them because we're so afraid that we'd damage them in the luggage 😂 These beautiful pieces are formed on agate instead of sedimentary rock.
Whilst it is commonly known as the February birth stone, few are aware of the fact that the name comes from the Greek word which means ‘intoxicate’. This is because they believed that amethyst could help one avoid drunkedness on a wild night out. The ancient Greeks even carried Amethysts around with them for this very purpose. Some of them went as far as to carve drinking vessels out of Amethysts! (But please don’t do that, it’s not exactly safe.) Amethysts were also used as a symbol of royalty, and was used in the designs of many English regalia.

For every $15 spent, we will plant 1 tree to offset the carbon cost of mining, shipping and packaging crystals. These are real and natural products, and so might have some flaws or imperfections. We have done our best to pick the best pieces available, but nature is often imperfectly perfect. Therefore, please only make the purchase if you are alright with this.
