The "Vera Cruz Amethyst Vision Pendant" is a showcase of handcrafted precision and geological wonder:
A circular bail allows for versatile pairing with chains of different styles and thicknesses, creating a sense of flow and continuity.
Directly beneath the bail is a hammered sterling silver rectangle, a testament to the art of metalwork. This piece provides visual contrast and draws the eye towards the gemstone.
The star of the show is the Vera Cruz amethyst. Known for its light violet hues, the crystal's anhydrous inclusions are pockets of ancient water trapped inside, making each piece truly unique. The amethyst is revered not only for its beauty but also for its calming and intuitive properties.
Finished to a radiant shine, the pendant is both a statement piece and a window into the past, displaying the inherent beauty of the amethyst. It’s an ideal choice for those who cherish the deep connection between the earth's history and present-day beauty. Whether worn as a daily accessory or a conversation starter at special events, this pendant is a treasure designed to enchant.

Historical and Cultural Use:
Amethyst has been prized for centuries for its beauty and reputed spiritual and healing properties. It was used in ancient Greece and Rome to prevent intoxication, symbolizing sobriety and self-control. In medieval times, it was considered a stone of royalty, adorning crowns, sceptres, and jewellery. Amethyst is also known for its significance in various religious and spiritual practices, often used to decorate churches and as a stone of bishops.
Geological Properties:
Amethyst is a variety of quartz characterized by its range of purple colours, from light lavender to deep violet. Its colour is due to irradiation, iron impurities, and the presence of trace elements, which result in complex crystal lattice substitutions. Amethyst often forms in geodes or in the cavities of granitic rocks. It can also be found in alluvial deposits as water-worn pebbles.
Spiritual and Emotional Significance:
Amethyst is known for its ability to enhance spiritual awareness and psychic abilities, promoting higher states of consciousness. It is believed to have a calming and soothing effect on the mind, helping to relieve stress, anxiety, and negative thoughts. Amethyst is also used for protection, creating a shield against lower energies and harmful environments.
Collectibility and Use:
Amethyst is highly valued both as a gemstone in jewellery and as a specimen for collectors. Its popularity stems from its striking beauty, availability, and versatile metaphysical properties. It is commonly used in meditation, energy healing practices, and as an adornment that carries its calming energies. Amethyst geodes and clusters are also popular for purifying and enhancing the energy of spaces.
Care and Maintenance:
Amethyst can fade in direct sunlight, so it's best to store it away from prolonged exposure to bright light. It can be cleaned with a soft brush and mild soap in lukewarm water. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners. Ultrasonic cleaners are generally safe for amethyst, but steam cleaning should be avoided as sudden temperature changes can cause fracturing.
