The compact 1.75-inch form showcases delicate craftsmanship, with softly defined wings and serene contours that emphasize the stone’s natural beauty. Polishing reveals the alternating lavender and white patterns unique to each piece, giving the angel a luminous, layered appearance.
Chevron amethyst is a variety of macrocrystalline quartz composed of alternating layers of amethyst (SiO₂ colored by iron) and white quartz. These bands form through rhythmic crystallization within volcanic cavities and hydrothermal veins. The Brazilian deposits producing this material are world-renowned for their purity, depth of color, and striking geometric banding.

Amethyst has been treasured since ancient Greece and Egypt for adornment, carving, and ritual use. The chevron variety—recognizable by its distinctive banded “V” pattern—was historically used in ornamental art for its aesthetic symmetry and stability under light. In Brazilian artisan culture, amethyst angels became popular symbols of devotion and serenity, combining the mineral’s natural beauty with motifs of guidance and spiritual guardianship.
The angel is a universal symbol of protection, guidance, and connection to higher wisdom. In mineral art, angel carvings represent light, reassurance, and the unseen forces that encourage strength during change.
When carved from chevron amethyst—a stone traditionally associated with tranquility, clarity, and transformation—the symbolism deepens:
The purple layers represent spiritual awareness and calm.
The white quartz bands suggest clarity and purification.
Together, they embody the union of intuition and grounded insight.
Collectors often display these carvings in quiet or sacred spaces as gentle reminders of resilience and harmony.
Each angel displays unique patterning of violet and white quartz, with polished wings that catch light softly. The 1.75-inch size suits small altars, bedside tables, or travel collections. Minor natural inclusions or variation in band thickness confirm its authenticity as hand-carved Brazilian material.
Chevron amethyst is durable with a hardness of 7, but should be stored away from harder minerals to prevent surface scratches. Clean gently with lukewarm water and a soft cloth; avoid harsh chemicals or extreme temperature shifts.
