In Short

This is a natural amethyst candle holder from Minas Gerais, Brazil, cut from an amethyst cluster with a well drilled in the centre for a standard tea light. It runs about 4 to 5 inches across and 1.5 inches tall, weighs 2 to 4 pounds, and rates Mohs 7. The base is cut flat so it sits level, and the crystal points are left natural and untreated.

For clarity and rest.

SiO2 (Silicate, tectosilicate)Sourced from BrazilTreatment: Uncommon. Heat can convert amethyst to citrine or prasiolite, and irradiation can deepen color in pale specimens. Most natural amethyst is sold untreated. Market-wide treatment risk: low. Estimated treated material on market: 10 to 20 percent.

Treatment Awareness
Medium (heat treatment, irradiation possible)

Amethyst is quartz coloured violet by trace iron and natural irradiation, grown inside the gas pockets of ancient Brazilian lava flows. Cut into a candle holder, the flat base steadies the piece while the crystal points across the top are left exactly as they formed.

These come from a cooperative in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Each one is cut from its own section of cluster, so no two match in colour depth, point size, or outline.

Worth knowing: a lot of the amethyst on the market is heat-treated or irradiated. These are natural, and the purple you see is the purple the stone grew with.

Amethyst is traditionally a stone for quiet, steady calm, winding down at the end of a day, and settling into rest. It is linked to the third eye and crown chakras.

As a candle holder it lives where you slow a room down, which suits the stone's character. How you use it is up to you.

These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
