This is a natural amethyst candle holder from Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, cut from an amethyst cluster with a well drilled for a standard tea light. It runs 4 to 6 inches across and 1.5 to 2.5 inches tall, weighs 2 to 4 pounds, Mohs 7. The base is cut flat so it sits level, the crystal points left natural and untreated.
Amethyst is quartz colored 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 Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Each one is cut from its own section of cluster, so no two match in color 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.
Offered as a starting point for your own practice.
Amethyst sits at 7 on the Mohs scale, harder than a steel blade, so it handles daily carry and a quick rinse without fuss. The one thing that hurts it is sunlight: months in a bright window will fade the color, and it does not come back.
Natural amethyst from Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. No. The amethyst is natural and untreated. A lot of amethyst on the market is heat-treated or irradiated, so it is worth asking anywhere you buy.
You'll receive pieces from the same batch photographed, weighed to the amount you choose. Every piece passes our quality control and meets or exceeds what you see in the photos. Single specimens are listed separately and say so.
Each piece measures 4.00-6.00" L x 4.00-6.00" W x 1.50-2.50" H and weighs 2 to 4 pounds.
Grades reflect visual quality within a batch. A is standard, with typical inclusions. AA shows stronger color, cleaner surfaces and tighter sizing. AAA is the top 10 to 15 percent of a batch. Every lot is inspected and graded by our team in Rockville, Maryland, not taken on the supplier’s word.
Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, cut at a cooperative there. It is the same region that produces most of the world's amethyst geodes. It came to us through a community partnership, one of the sourcing models we publish and stand behind.
Every lot is inspected and graded by our expert team before it is listed, not taken on the supplier's word. AA on this listing means stronger color, cleaner surfaces and tighter sizing than the batch average. Pieces that miss the mark never reach the shop.
How We GradeSourced through a regional cooperative or community-based workshop. Processing and economic benefit stay local, which means more of the value reaches the people doing the work. We say what we know and where our tracing stops.
Our Sourcing StandardsEverything we sell is natural in origin: never synthetic, never dyed, never coated. Where a stone has been heated, irradiated or stabilized, which is common in the trade for some species, we say so on the listing. If a piece is not as described, return it within 90 days of delivery.
