Chevron Amethyst Rough

Chevron Amethyst is a banded quartz combining purple amethyst with white quartz in a natural V-shaped (chevron) pattern, left rough and unpolished so the banding and raw crystal faces stay fully visible. Small pieces are pocket-size; larger pieces show the full scale of the layered banding.

Keep it out of prolonged direct sunlight, which can fade amethyst's purple over time. Smoke, moonlight, or resting near clear quartz are gentle ways to cleanse its energy.
