What it is

Banded amethyst, sometimes called chevron or cape amethyst, layers purple amethyst with milky white quartz in stripes and waves. Amethyst has long been the stone of a clear, sober mind, and the bands add a softer, cloudy look.

Why people choose it

  • Purple and white bands Lavender and cream stripes, each stone with its own pattern.
  • A stone for the evening Often kept by the bed for a quieter mind before sleep.
  • The sober stone Its Greek name means not drunk, a stone of clarity.

How to use it

  1. 1

    Keep one in a pocket or beside the bed as a small reminder of an intention

  2. 2

    Lay several in a ring or a line on a shelf, a crystal grid in the tradition

  3. 3

    Fill a dish or a bowl and let the colours sit together

Care: Wipe with a soft dry cloth. Keep softer stones such as selenite and malachite away from water. Store them apart from harder stones so they do not scratch.

About this product

What you'll notice
  • The banding is the whole story. Bands of rich purple sit beside pale, almost frosted white, and no two stones draw the lines in the same place.
  • The finish is glossy and rounded, with soft edges and no sharp corners, so they sit comfortably in a closed hand.
  • Some stones lean darker, with near-black violet pooling at one end; others are mostly pale with a single bold stripe.
  • This is the Grade B selection, so you may find the odd natural mark, small surface line or uneven patch of colour. These are part of how banded amethyst forms rather than a flaw in the polishing.
Banded amethyst, and where the colour comes from

Amethyst is the purple variety of quartz. Its violet is generally attributed to traces of iron within the crystal structure, and the paler, cloudier bands are quartz that grew with less colour as conditions changed during formation. The result is the striped, layered look you see here, sometimes called banded or chevron amethyst. Our stones come from Namibia.

From rough rock to pocket stone

Tumbled stones start as rough pieces of mineral, loaded into a rotating drum with water and progressively finer grit. Over days of slow turning, the edges wear down and the surface takes on its polish. It is a patient process, and the reason each stone ends up smooth, rounded and individual.

Ideas for living with them

Amethyst has been prized for centuries, and in many traditions it is associated with calm and clarity. Beyond that, these stones are simply good company: a small handful in a ceramic dish on a desk, one kept in a coat pocket to turn over between thoughts, a few set beside a candle or on a windowsill where the light can reach the bands. They also make a gentle gift, easy to post and easy to keep.

A note on variety

Because these are natural stones, you will receive a mix rather than a matched set. Size, shape and the balance of purple to white will vary from one stone to the next, and the photograph shows the character of the range rather than the exact stones you will receive.

Caring for them

A soft, dry cloth is usually all a polished stone needs. If they gather dust, a quick wipe with a barely damp cloth, dried straight away, will bring the shine back. Keep them away from harsh cleaners.

Common questions

Will mine look exactly like the photo?
Not exactly. Every banded amethyst is different, so the colour, banding and shape will vary stone to stone, though the purple-and-white character will be consistent.
What does Grade B mean?
Grade B stones may show more natural marks, surface lines or colour variation than a top grade. They are the same mineral, polished in the same way.
Where do the stones come from?
These stones come from Namibia.
Are they smooth all over?
Yes. Tumbling gives them a rounded, polished finish with no sharp edges, though natural pits or fine lines can remain in places.
