100% natural Amethyst beads!

These amethyst beads feature a range of soft lavender to deeper violet tones, with natural zoning and faceting that adds a gentle sparkle and depth to each strand. Amethyst is a variety of quartz colored by trace iron and natural irradiation, forming in geodes and hydrothermal environments over time. Metaphysically, amethyst is believed to promote calm, clarity, and spiritual awareness, making it a popular stone for relaxation and balance.

Amethyst is the birthstone for February.

Recommendations

For beads 4mm and smaller, it is recommended to start with stringing wires no larger than .013inch / .33mm. This will ensure a proper fit and in most cases allow for feeding of the wire tip back through the beads for a clean finish.

Elastic cords can be used with beads 4mm and larger, but it will not fit through most beads smaller than 4mm. It's recommended to use 0.5mm elastic cord.

These recommendations are intended to help guide you for a successful project. With time and experience you'll discover what works best for your designs.
