These beautiful candle holders are carved directly from real amethyst clusters. Because of this, they all naturally vary in colour and size of crystals. Your candle holder may be anywhere from 500 t0 2000 grams and 8 to 18 cm across its longest dimension, and it might not be one of the ones pictured.
Amethyst is a variety of quartz that appears translucent purple due to natural irradiation and metallic impurities. It has a six-sided prism shape with a point and a glassy lustre. It has no cleavage but has a conchoidal fracture. It is found throughout the world, with high-quality gem-grade stones typically found in Brazil, Siberia, Sri Lanka, and Uruguay. Amethyst is often heat-treated to change its colour and is sometimes called citrine or green amethyst. Amethyst has a long history of use, including as a gemstone, as a symbol of royalty, and as a protection amulet. It is considered the birthstone of February and is believed to increase wealth, calm the mind and spirit, and strengthen relationships.
