At its heart, the Vera Cruz Amethyst stands.Enveloped in a dedicated sheet of silver

on the band Ethiopian Opal and the introspective Blue Moonstone. The Ethiopian Opal, faceted in an eye-catching shape, emanates a passionate energy with its vivid play-of-color, akin to lightning in a tempestuous sky, representing inspiration and creativity. On the opposing side, the Blue Moonstone, in its serene shimmer, invites moments of reflection and clarity, mirroring the tranquility of a moonlit night.

These three gemstones, each with its distinct energy, are harmoniously integrated within an oxidized, hammer-finished sterling silver setting, signifying the balance of emotion and thought, of terrestrial might and celestial wonder. The pendant, suspended from a 16-18 inch adjustable sterling silver hoop chain attached on either side of the silver coil, ensures a comfortable fit secured with a lobster claw closure. For those inclined towards a brighter sheen, the oxidant can be polished away to reveal the luminous silver underneath.

Double Terminated Vera Cruz Amethyst

Classification: Silicate mineral
Chemical Composition: SiO2

Source: Vera Cruz, Mexico

Symbolic Meanings:

Associations:

Element: Wind
Planet: Jupiter
Zodiac Signs: Pisces, Virgo, Aquarius, Capricorn
Chakra: Third Eye and Crown Chakras

Geological Properties:
Vera Cruz Amethyst, specifically sourced from Vera Cruz in Mexico, is recognized for its distinctively pale lavender to deep purple hues. Being double terminated means the crystal has natural points at both its ends. This structure facilitates the movement of energy in both directions, making it a powerful tool for energy work and healing.

Spiritual and Emotional Significance:
The Vera Cruz Amethyst is often associated with the facilitation of deeper meditation states. Its energy is believed to be gentler than other amethyst varieties, promoting a serene spiritual environment. Double Terminated Vera Cruz Amethysts are especially valued for their ability to connect and circulate energy between chakras, aligning and harmonizing one's energy centers. These stones are considered ideal for establishing a connection with divine or higher entities.

Collectibility and Use:
The soft lavender hue combined with the unique energy properties of Vera Cruz Amethyst makes it highly sought after by both collectors and practitioners of metaphysical healing. Its double-terminated form amplifies its attributes, making it perfect for meditative practices, energy grid setups, or simply as a beautiful collector's item.

Note: While Amethyst is quite hard and durable, it's still vital to handle it with care to prevent any damage or scratches. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause the color of amethyst to fade.

Associations:
Element: Earth
Planet: Mercury
Zodiac Signs: Taurus, Gemini, Virgo

Chakra: Heart Chakra
Geological Properties:
Raw Australian Gem Emeralds are characterized by their vibrant green color, which can range from a light, grassy hue to a deep, rich forest green. Unlike polished emeralds, raw emeralds are often found in their natural crystal form and may contain inclusions or imperfections that make each piece unique.

Spiritual and Emotional Significance:
Emeralds are considered stones of prophecy and wisdom. They are thought to increase mental clarity and enhance intuition. Traditionally, emeralds are used to heal and activate the heart chakra, fostering emotional balance and the ability to give and receive love. They are believed to help one overcome misfortunes, maintain a youthful spirit, and boost creativity.

Collectibility and Use:
Raw Australian Gem Emeralds are especially valued by collectors for their natural form and distinctive coloration. They are popular in raw crystal collections and can also be set in jewelry, typically in a protective setting that accommodates their natural edges and preserves their raw beauty.

Care and Maintenance:
Emeralds, despite their relative hardness, are prone to chipping and cracking and should be handled with care. They should be cleaned with a soft brush and mild soap; ultrasonic cleaners should be avoided. Storing emeralds away from harder gems and in a soft pouch can help prevent scratches.
