Amethyst Polished Point
Amethyst is a purple variety of quartz traditionally associated with calm, protection, and clarity. This polished amethyst point comes from Brazil with a smooth cut base so it stands upright on its own, its natural termination catching light across shades of violet. Each point is unique — color depth and exact size vary piece to piece.

Amethyst is water-safe for a quick rinse, though prolonged soaking isn’t necessary. Keep it out of prolonged direct sunlight — amethyst’s purple color can fade with extended sun exposure. Cleanse with running water briefly, moonlight, or sound, then dry with a soft cloth.
Frequently asked questions
What is an amethyst point and what is it used for?
It is a natural amethyst crystal with a polished flat base and a pointed termination. Amethyst is traditionally associated with calm, protection, and mental clarity. This is a decorative/symbolic piece, not a health product or medical device.
Is amethyst water-safe?
Yes, a brief rinse is fine. Amethyst is a hard, durable quartz variety, though prolonged soaking isn't necessary for cleansing.
Can I display amethyst in the sun, or is daily wear safe?
Amethyst's purple color can fade with prolonged direct sun exposure, so display it out of constant direct sunlight. Handling or carrying it daily is otherwise fine.
How do I cleanse and charge amethyst?
Moonlight, sound, or a brief rinse under running water all work well. Avoid leaving it in direct sun for cleansing, since that can fade the color over time.
How can I tell if amethyst is real?
Genuine amethyst shows natural color zoning (uneven bands of light and dark purple), a glassy luster, and often small natural inclusions — perfectly uniform, flawless color can indicate dyed quartz or glass.
What pairs well with an amethyst point?
Amethyst pairs naturally with clear quartz for amplifying calm, or with rose quartz for a gentle, heart-centered combination.
