Amethyst Mini Cut Base - Uruguay

Among the books, decks, and stones on 14th Street is this crystal: Amethyst Mini Cut Base - Uruguay (shop SKU VOAC20E).

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. 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.
