Smooth Stones made of dark purple Amthyst Quartz have a diameter of 3.2 - 3.5cm and a thickness of about 0.9 - 1.1mm.
There are about 28 - 32 flat amethyst stones per packing unit.
Amthyst Quartz is used in stone healing because of its effect when sobriety, purity, collection and tranquility are the issues to be strengthened.
The name amethyst is derived from the Greek word amethystos (counteracting intoxication) and refers to the traditional belief that with an amethyst one is protected against the intoxicating effects of wine and other alcohol. Spellings such as Amathyst, Amethist, Ametist, Ametyhst, Ametyst, Amnethyst, Amthyst or Amythist are therefore incorrect.
