Amethyst lace is a term that we use to describe the beautiful patterns of amethyst and chalcedony. This beautiful material has been polished into cabochons, which could be used for jewelry, however this shape and size is perfect for bodywork and slim enough for any pocket. The colors are pink and purple and are strikingly beautiful. Because the amethyst is not an intense purple it would be considered a low grade of amethyst. However, the energy is fascinating; it has a sweet loving energy that centers on the heart chakra. This is unusual for amethyst which is usually centered on the crown. The energy helps resolve matters of the heart, especially when logic tells you one thing, but your heart another. These beautiful cabochons are from Brazil.

The cabochon measures 1.15" x 1.05" x 0.35" and weighs 0.5 oz.
