Price is per 17-inch string - about 18 nuggets to the string. Each will be slightly different colour or shape - sizes range from around a large 26mm x 21mm x 18mm, down to around 20mm x 15mm x 13mm. Half on the string are amethyst, and the others are rose quartz.
NOTE: The Rose quartz beads are dark pink in actual colour than the picture.
Amethyst belongs to the quartz family and the purple colour is due to traces of iron. Coloured purple-to-lilac, and ranging from opaque to transparent. Named from the Greek word "amethustos", meaning without wine. Amethyst is an especially powerful stone, a symbol of sincerity, security, and peace of mind. It protects, reduces negativity and brings spirituality - hence the name "Pope Stone". The Christian crusaders attached it to their rosaries. A stone of divine love.
Although some say amethyst is less powerful than fluorite, which also carries the purple ray, linked with the zodiac it can help psychic knowledge. Healers of times gone by suggest this stone could help dream inspiration if placed under the pillow at night. Legend even says drinking from an amethyst chalice will prevent intoxication.
