Amethyst is a violet variety of quartz. The ancient Greeks wore amethyst and carved drinking vessels from it in the belief that it would prevent intoxication. Amethyst is a semiprecious stone that is often used in jewellery and is the traditional birthstone for February.

Amethyst is a natural tranquiliser, it relieves stress and strain, soothes irritability, balances mood swings, dispels anger, rage, fear and anxiety. Alleviates sadness and grief, and dissolves negativity. Amethyst activates spiritual awareness, opens intuition and enhances psychic abilities.

As these are cut from stone each is unique in appearance. Strands have slight variations amongst each other due to their natural zoning and appearance. Each strand is therefore unique.
