Amethyst Clusters Cut Base A Quality Uruguay

Amethyst Clusters Cut Base A Quality Uruguay is a crystal (shop SKU VOAC21) on the shelves at Namaste Bookshop in Manhattan.

Amethyst is the purple variety of quartz, colored by traces of iron. In crystal traditions, amethyst is associated with calm and intuition. Those ideas belong to folklore and personal practice, not to any medical claim.

A cut base means the bottom has been sawn or ground flat so the piece can stand. A cluster is a group of crystals that grew together; no two have the same arrangement of points. Natural stones vary in color, clarity, and shape, so the piece you receive will have its own character even when the weight, grade, or size is listed.
