In the world of fine art, light and color is as important as composition and subject. Jewelry as an art form is no different. I love to create my jewelry using the natural beauty of different and unique gemstones combined with a variety of metals to fit and complement the body. I am partial to many colors of stones both faceted and rough but labradorite and moonstone are some of my favorites.

Taking care of your jewelry:  This piece of sterling silver jewelry is high polished and not sealed. It will naturally patina over time which gives it a duller sheen.  If you want more of the high polished look we recommend our Jewelry Cleaner in Accessories.

AMETHYST

Ancient civilizations placed a high value in this stone. Their belief was that the amethyst crystal meaning was synonymous with luxury. As such, it was highlighted as part of their crowns, scepters and rings. Amethyst crystal is one of several varieties of quartz, which gives it a crystal trigonal system. Its lavender to violet shade is the result of iron and aluminum deposits, as well as natural irradiation. Amethyst stone is made up of silicon dioxide.

HEALING PROPERTIES

Amethyst healing properties are as plentiful as the stone itself. It is thought of mostly as a protective stone. As it is linked to the crown chakra, it is helpful in purifying the mind and clearing it of negative thoughts. This includes the negativity of stress and anxiety, which is why many meditate with amethyst so as to rid themselves of that darkness. Amethyst healing properties are especially useful in regards to work-related stress, because the stone is also associated with abundance; therefore relieving stress while emanating prosperity. The amethyst properties which facilitate intuition and communication can also be applied to increased work effectiveness.

WHERE IT’S FOUND

 Amethyst is quite common and is found and mined in Arizona including other continents, with the larger deposits currently being mined in South America, Africa and North America.  The largest global producer is Brazil with an annual production of around two to three thousand tons.
