Amethyst Cluster
A natural amethyst cluster on white calcite matrix, sourced from the Minas Gerais region of Brazil — the world's most prolific amethyst source. The points range from deep violet to lavender depending on light, with the characteristic internal growth lines and glassy faces of natural quartz.
Each cluster is unique. Size, depth of colour, and point arrangement vary piece to piece. Photographs are representative; the cluster you receive will have its own character.
Amethyst has been used as a protective talisman since antiquity — by Greeks who carved goblets from it, by medieval soldiers who wore it into battle, by bishops who still wear it as a ring stone. It sits at the boundary between the everyday and the ceremonial.
