Amethyst
Amethyst is the purple variety of quartz, coloured by traces of iron and exposure to natural radiation. Its colour ranges from pale violet to deep purple, and it often crystallises in hexagonal prisms. Amethyst is widely used as a gemstone and decorative material because of its attractive colour and transparency.
Major deposits include Brazil, Uruguay, Zambia, Madagascar and Russia. The mineral forms in hydrothermal veins and magmatic rocks such as basalt, where it forms crystals in geodes. Its chemical formula is SiOâ‚‚ and its hardness is 7 on the Mohs scale. Variants such as chevron amethyst and Siberian amethyst are popular for their pattern or deep colour.

Pierced Pendants
Pierced pendants are polished and cut (precious) stones with a drill hole, making them easy to wear on a cord or chain. This makes them a popular choice for jewellery. In most cases, the pendants are pierced widthwise, from left to right.
The pierced pendants are available in various shapes and sizes, including drop, oval, point and heart. Some of the range is manufactured in China, while other pendants come from Madagascar. The pierced diameter varies by model and is usually between 2 and 4 mm. We sell the pierced pendants individually, with some having a minimum order of 5 pieces. Unfortunately, we do not currently have any matching cord or chain in our range!
