How to use it As a large carved piece, it works best as a focal display on a shelf, mantel, or altar rather than a handheld piece. Many people place it somewhere it can be seen daily as a calming visual anchor. Care & cleansing Amethyst can handle a brief rinse under running water; dry it well afterward. Keep it out of prolonged direct sunlight, since UV exposure can gradually fade amethyst's purple color. A soft cloth is fine for regular dusting. Choosing a size Because this angel is offered in two weight ranges, it helps to check the exact weight and dimensions on the product listing before ordering, especially if you have a specific shelf or altar space in mind. Both weight options share the same carved detail and natural color variation, since each piece is cut from genuine amethyst rather than a uniform, mass-produced mold.
