Banded Amethyst

Clarity and calm in bands of purple.

Banded amethyst is a variety of purple quartz that forms in layers, each band marking a distinct growth phase. We source from Ambatondrazaka, Madagascar, where artisanal operators hand-select and polish pieces from alluvial deposits. The result is natural, untreated material with soft, muted purple tones and distinct striations. Many people work with banded amethyst for clarity of thought, steady calm, and the quieting of anxious mind-loops.
