A deeper shade of amethyst tends to be more valuable as is “eye-clean” gems with no visible inclusions.

Amethyst

Amethyst, revered as a symbol of spiritual development and psychic abilities, is revered as an amethyst birthstone for centuries. With healing properties to ease stress and promote emotional equilibrium as well as increasing intuition and psychic abilities.

Amethyst crystals come in an array of hues – from soft lavender to deep grape. Additionally, some pieces may exhibit significant color zoning within one gem with darker and lighter spots visible within it.

Amethyst can be found both transparent and translucent-opaque forms in nature, with transparent forms generally more abundant. When intergrown with citrine it forms the gemstone ametrine; an amazing natural phenomenon where zones of citrine intersperse between zones of amethyst for an exceptional form that’s rarely found on the market. Ametrine typically originates in Brazil but some mines also exist across North and South America.

Rose Quartz

Rose red milky quartz (sometimes also referred to as strawberry pink quartz) is a delicate pastel gem belonging to the quartz family, such as rock crystal, citrine and amethyst. With its cloudy translucence it inspires jewelers to craft beads and cabochons from it; some pieces show signs of six-rayed star formation when cut correctly due to inclusions of microscopic needlelike rutile.

Rose quartz is an enduring healing stone, believed to support both physical and psychological well-being. Additionally, it’s a timeless decorative accent, adding a peaceful vibe to any home. Available in different shapes and sizes – sculptures can be easily carved for artistic pieces with its smooth surface suitable for polishing into different finishes – Rose quartz can easily be cleaned using clear lukewarm water and is UV sensitive; natural specimens may fade quickly under UV exposure but irradiated to restore color if exposed for too long under UV radiation – although natural specimens may fade over time due to UV light exposure; in such cases they can be irradiated to restore color.

Citrine

Citrine is an elegant yellow gemstone and November’s birthstone, believed to bring health, wealth, and success. Additionally, citrine makes an excellent meditation stone and crystal healing aid; its vibrational energy aligns perfectly with both Solar Plexus and Sacral chakras to balance and stimulate them both.

Citrine is part of the Quartz family and receives its color from iron impurities, making it relatively rare and thus more costly than its natural form. Most commercial citrine available is heat treated amethyst or smoky quartz heated until its original structure has changed to citrine; Madeira citrine stands out by having reddish hues mixed in with golden hues produced through heat treatment.

Physically, citrine acts to stimulate digestion, spleen and pancreas activity; to neutralise kidney and bladder infections; help eye problems; increase blood circulation; reverse degenerative diseases and reverse them; promote happiness and alleviate fatigue while its radiant energy can enhance productivity in your home or office, furthering creativity and overall wellbeing.
