Its name comes from the Greek amethystos, meaning not drunk, and Greek and Roman wearers carried it as a talisman against intoxication. Purple's long association with royalty and spiritual authority carried the stone through European ecclesiastical and coronation jewellery for centuries, which is part of why a cathedral-form piece still reads as a formal object rather than a casual one. Pieces at this scale are generally bought as a room's anchor rather than as part of a collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Properties\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrimary Focus: Intuition \u0026amp; Spiritual Awareness\u003cbr\u003eSecondary Focus: Calm \u0026amp; Stress Relief\u003cbr\u003eChakra Association: Third Eye, Crown\u003cbr\u003eBirthstone: February\u003cbr\u003eZodiac Sign: Pisces, Aquarius\u003cbr\u003eChinese Zodiac: Rabbit, Goat\u003cbr\u003eRuling Planet: Jupiter\u003cbr\u003eElements: Air, Water\u003cbr\u003eMohs Hardness: 7\u003cbr\u003eStone Family: Tectosilicate\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Natural Amethyst\u003cbr\u003eOrigin: Brazil\u003cbr\u003eForm: Geode \/ Cluster\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Polished\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Size: 195 mm (7.7 inches) H x 205 mm (8.1 inches) W\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Weight: 6440 g\u003cbr\u003eListing: Single unit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeological Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmethyst is the purple variety of quartz, a silicon dioxide mineral of the trigonal system at Mohs 7. Its colour comes from iron impurities combined with natural irradiation within the crystal lattice, and ranges from palest lilac to deep royal purple depending on iron content and exposure. Cathedral pieces of this kind form when prismatic hexagonal crystals line the inside of a gas cavity in volcanic rock over millions of years; the surrounding grey and white banding is the agate shell that formed first and sealed the void. Heat treatment above approximately 470 degrees Celsius shifts Amethyst to yellow or orange, and material treated this way is sold commercially as citrine or prasiolite; some pale Amethyst is also irradiated to deepen colour. Zambian material is noted for exceptional clarity and a distinctive blue-violet secondary hue, though Brazil remains the dominant commercial source, alongside Uruguay, Zambia, Madagascar, Russia, South Korea, and Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuturaSol Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity.
