{"product_id":"worry-stones-heart-amethyst-pk-6-1-5","title":"Amethyst Heart Worry Stone - 1.5 inch","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmethyst Worry Stone cut to a heart outline with a shallow thumb hollow worked into the upper face. Colour varies markedly across the batch, some pieces a clear mid-violet, others pale lilac shading to almost colourless white quartz at one lobe, and most carrying visible zoning where the purple deepens and thins across a single face. The polish is high and the surface is cool and glassy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmethyst is the most widely used stone in the trade for quieting an overactive mind, and its name records that reputation: the Greek amethystos means not drunk, and it was worn across Greek and Roman cultures as a guard against intoxication. It is commonly kept on a bedside table, held during breathing practice, or carried by people who want one stone rather than a collection. The zoning visible here is a mark of natural material rather than a flaw.\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: Amethyst\u003cbr\u003eForm: Worry Stone\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Polished\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Size: 39 mm (1.5 inches)\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Weight: 13-17 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, silicon dioxide crystallising in the trigonal system at Mohs 7, with its colour arising from iron impurities combined with natural irradiation acting on the crystal lattice. Intensity ranges from the palest lilac to a deep royal purple and frequently varies within a single crystal, which is why zoning is so common in cut material. It forms as prismatic hexagonal crystals lining geodes, vugs and alluvial deposits, with Zambian material noted for exceptional clarity and a blue-violet secondary hue. Heat treatment above roughly 470 degrees Celsius shifts the colour to yellow or orange and is the standard industrial route to most material sold as citrine or prasiolite; some pale amethyst is also irradiated to deepen colour, and either is disclosed where known. The stone passed from Greek and Roman talismanic use into centuries of European royal and ecclesiastical jewellery. Commercial material comes from Brazil, Uruguay, Zambia, Madagascar, Russia, South Korea and Canada.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuturaSol Standard\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e Each natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity.
