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.
