Amethyst Purple Raw Crystal Sterling Silver Stud Earrings
*Amethyst--the primary birthstone for February*
This is a pair of very small raw crystal earrings--please read dimensions and examine scale photos carefully! This is a pair of unique unpolished amethyst crystal chunks, which are held in sterling silver prongs. The earrings feature unpolished and unshaped little chunks of amethyst--they vary in shape, size, and color, with no two stones exactly alike. This is the charm of this style! The earrings are sold alone--they would look ideal as a set with the matching Amethyst mini point pendant, or anything else from our Amethyst collection, many of which are not yet on the website. Contact us if you would like help putting a set together!
Dimensions: 0.25" x 0.25" (7mm x 7mm)
*Note: The prongs on this style can be delicate, so we recommend against wearing these studs while sleeping or doing physical activities.

PHYSICAL: Quartz is the second most abundant mineral in the earth's crust--it is pure silicon dioxide, and can take many forms. Amethyst is the purple quartz variety, and gets its color from iron and other metallic inclusions.
HEALING: Amethyst is associated for protection, spiritual guidance, dreams, and release of negative habits and attachments.
Care for gemstones in sterling silver jewelry:
As with all natural stones set in silver, these jewelry pieces should be removed when taking a shower, swimming, or entering a hot springs. Water (especially hot water) can damage natural materials and even cause settings to fail. This is especially true with gemstone rings!
*Though many gems and minerals have historical and cultural associations with healing properties, these items are sold for wear in jewelry, display, study, and collector interest only.
