Amethyst Polished Point

Amethyst is a purple variety of quartz traditionally associated with calm, protection, and clarity. This polished amethyst point comes from Brazil with a smooth cut base so it stands upright on its own, its natural termination catching light across shades of violet. Each point is unique — color depth and exact size vary piece to piece.
