Amethyst Stalactite Slice Claw Set Sterling Silver Pendant

Amethyst Stalactite Slice Claw Set Sterling Silver Pendant (shop SKU PTAMEP118) is offered as a pendant online and at the bookshop on West 14th Street.

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.

Sterling silver is 92.5% silver, often stamped .925; like all silver, it can tarnish over time and can be brightened with a soft polishing cloth. The title describes a claw (prong) setting that holds the stone. Store jewelry dry and away from lotions, perfume, and harsh cleaners to keep it looking its best.
