Natural Amethyst Bracelet | Lab-Certified

• A quieter evening — Amethyst is the stone most often worn towards the end of a long day rather than the start of one.
• Meditation — The customary choice for Ajna and Sahasrara, the third eye and crown.
• Rest — Traditionally kept at the bedside, which is why many wearers move it there at night.
• Linked with Shani — In Indian gemmology jamunia is the accepted upratna, or substitute stone, for Saturn.
• Suits people who overthink — Long chosen by those who find brighter stones too insistent.

1. Begin on a Saturday morning, after a bath.
2. Leave it out overnight in moonlight to cleanse it, never in sunlight, as amethyst fades.
3. Hold it and set your intention for one habit you want to slow down.
4. Chant Om Sham Shanicharaya Namah eleven times, then put it on.
5. Wear on the left wrist, the receiving side.
6. Remove before bathing, wipe with a dry cloth, and store it in its pouch rather than on a sunny sill.

Purple is a cool colour and wants cool metal, so silver, white gold and steel-tone watches suit it while yellow gold fights it. It looks considered against grey, black and deep green, and works best as the single piece on an otherwise bare wrist.

Saturday, the day of Shani, is the traditional day to begin wearing amethyst, since jamunia is the recognised substitute stone for Saturn in Indian practice. Monday, the day of Chandra, is the alternative for those wearing it chiefly for meditation and rest. Start in the morning after a bath.

Amethyst is quartz whose purple comes from iron impurities altered by natural radiation deep in the rock, which is precisely why sunlight undoes it: the same kind of energy that made the colour will eventually bleach it out. The name is Greek, amethystos, not intoxicated, and drinking vessels were once cut from it on the belief that it kept the drinker clear-headed. Until the large Brazilian and Uruguayan deposits were found in the nineteenth century, amethyst was ranked among the cardinal gems alongside ruby and emerald.
