Amethyst - Teardrop

This majestic Amethyst teardrop cabochon is cut into a classic, elegant pear shape measuring 30mm by 22mm with a bold 8mm high dome. Known for its regal purple hues, this stone displays beautiful color saturation ranging from delicate lavender to deep violet. The high-domed polish enhances the stone's natural clarity and depth, allowing light to play beautifully across its facets and internal structure.

With its substantial size and striking silhouette, this cabochon serves as a magnificent focal point for a statement pendant, an ornate brooch, or a dramatic centerpiece in a custom-designed necklace.

Key Properties & Care

As a variety of macrocrystalline quartz, Amethyst is highly durable and well-suited for everyday wear, though it should be protected from specific environmental factors to maintain its vibrant color:

• Mohs Hardness: Amethyst has a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale, offering excellent resistance to scratching and making it one of the most practical stones for frequent use.

• Cleaning: Gently clean using lukewarm water and a soft cloth. A mild soap solution is safe for removing oils and dirt. Always rinse thoroughly and dry the stone immediately after cleaning.

• Maintenance:

  • Avoid Prolonged Sunlight: Like Rose Quartz, Amethyst can lose its color intensity if exposed to strong, direct sunlight or UV light for extended periods.

  • Avoid Chemicals: Do not expose the stone to harsh household chemicals, bleach, or acidic solutions that could affect the polish.

  • Avoid Heat: Keep the stone away from extreme heat sources, as high temperatures can cause the color to shift or fade.

  • Storage: Store separately from other gemstones to prevent the possibility of surface abrasion, even though its high hardness makes it quite resilient.
