A Raw Amethyst Crystal Quartz Perfume Bottle Pendant with a Gold-Tone Chain

Amethyst, a variety of quartz, has been prized for its purple hue since antiquity, often associated with royalty and spiritual power. It was believed to ward off intoxication, hence its name derived from the Greek word 'amethystos,' meaning 'not drunk.' Historically, amethyst was used in jewelry, seals, and religious artifacts, with significant deposits found in ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome. In more recent times, particularly from the 1970s onwards, natural crystals like amethyst have gained popularity in New Age and spiritual practices. They are often fashioned into pendants, beads, and other decorative items, valued for their perceived energetic properties and natural beauty. This particular piece, with its raw, unpolished form and simple chain, aligns with this modern appreciation for natural gemstones. Chain is 11” in Length
