Amethyst Point Rough Cut

Amethyst is the purple variety of quartz, treasured for its natural points and long associated with calm and clarity. This rough-cut amethyst point keeps much of its natural, uncut character while showing at least one cut or partially polished face that reveals the stone's deep violet interior — a nice middle ground between a fully raw specimen and a smooth polished point.

How to use it Set this point on a desk or altar as a calming focal piece, hold it during meditation, or use it to anchor intention in a crystal grid. Because it's a natural point rather than a fully polished one, it also works well as a tactile piece to hold and turn over in quiet moments. Care & cleansing Amethyst is water-safe, so a brief rinse is fine to clear away dust, but skip long soaks, harsh chemicals, and ultrasonic cleaners, which can wear at the stone's natural fractures. Keep it out of prolonged direct sunlight, since UV exposure can fade its violet color over time. Many people also cleanse its energy with sound, smoke, or moonlight.
