Black Amethyst Cutbase Polished Edge

This listing is for a crystal, Black Amethyst Cutbase Polished Edge (shop SKU DBAC2), which you can order online or see in the store.

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. The edges of this piece are polished, while other surfaces may be left more natural. 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.
