Double Terminated Amethyst Point Pendant – Gold Vermeil
A slim pencil point of amethyst, pointed at both ends, capped in gold. Classy, witchy, and just a little bit extra.
Amethyst has been keeping people level-headed since ancient Greece. Its name comes from the Greek amethystos, meaning "a remedy against drunkenness." The Greeks linked its wine-colored hue to Bacchus, god of wine, and believed it kept the wearer clear-headed and quick-witted in battle and business. (It's not a substitute for a designated driver, but we appreciate the effort.) Royalty prized it as far back as Alexander the Great, and Leonardo da Vinci is said to have believed it could dispel negative thoughts and sharpen the mind.
Today, amethyst is beloved as a stone of calm, clarity, and spiritual protection. It's said to ease stress, deepen intuition, and encourage restful sleep. It's connected to the crown chakra for spiritual connection and inner wisdom, and to the third eye for insight. It's the February birthstone and is often associated with Pisces and Aquarius.
Because this point is double-terminated, with a point at each end, it's believed to let energy flow in both directions: drawing in what you need and sending out what you don't. It's a balanced little conduit you can wear over your heart.
The amethyst is set in gold vermeil, a thick layer of gold over solid 925 sterling silver, for the warm glow of gold with a precious-metal core.
