Amethyst Natural Polished Point Rough Base

Among the books, decks, and stones on 14th Street is this crystal point: Amethyst Natural Polished Point Rough Base (shop SKU WJAMR11).

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.

Part of the piece, such as the base, is left unpolished or rough, as stated in the title. Natural stones vary in color, clarity, and shape, so the piece you receive will have its own character even when the weight or grade is listed.
