These are AA-grade Chevron Amethyst tumbled stones from Copperbelt Province, Zambia, sold by the piece or by the pound. Chevron amethyst layers purple amethyst and white quartz in V-shaped bands, a record of alternating growth phases. Each piece runs 1-1.50 inches at Mohs 7, sourced through a community partnership. A favorite focus stone for desks.
Chevron amethyst is amethyst layered with bands of white quartz in V-shaped patterns. The chevron effect gives it a very different look from standard amethyst, more architectural, more geometric.
From Greek 'a-methystos' meaning 'not drunk', ancient Greeks believed amethyst prevented intoxication and carved drinking vessels from it.
We bring these tumbled stones in from Copperbelt Province, Zambia. Worth knowing: a lot of the chevron amethyst on the market is heat-treated and irradiated. What we carry is natural and untreated.
Chevron amethyst has long been used in practices around listening to the quieter signals, a simple anchor during practice, and quiet, steady calm. It's traditionally linked to the third eye and crown chakras. If that resonates, place one on a nightstand or on an altar where you sit. There's no single right way to carry it.
These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
A starting place for your own quiet practice.
