Amethyst Heart – Stone of Intuition

Description

Each Amethyst Heart is carefully hand-carved from natural amethyst and polished to a radiant luster. Ranging from pale lilac to deep royal purple, every heart displays unique zoning patterns that reflect its natural crystalline growth. Smooth and cool to the touch, it’s ideal for meditation, meaningful gifting, or elegant display.

Geological Background

Amethyst is a purple variety of macrocrystalline quartz (SiO₂) colored by trace amounts of iron and natural irradiation within the crystal lattice. It forms in geodes and hydrothermal veins, where silica-rich fluids crystallize over thousands of years. Notable sources include Brazil, Uruguay, and Madagascar, with each region producing distinctive shades of violet and lavender.

Scientific Classification

History & Cultural Context 

For over 2,000 years, amethyst has symbolized clarity of mind and spiritual awareness. Ancient Greeks believed it protected against excess and confusion, while medieval healers associated it with divine insight. In Eastern traditions, its purple hue links to the crown chakra, representing inner wisdom and intuitive awakening. Carved into a heart, amethyst becomes a physical emblem of intuitive love—understanding both oneself and others with calm perception.

Metaphysical Notes

Known as the Stone of Intuition, Amethyst enhances awareness, balance, and inner peace. It’s used to quiet the mind, deepen meditation, and strengthen intuitive guidance. The heart shape amplifies this calm energy through compassion and emotional understanding.

Care & Handling

Clean with a soft cloth and lukewarm water. Avoid long sunlight exposure, which can fade amethyst’s natural color. Store separately from harder minerals to prevent surface wear.
