In crystal tradition, amethyst is associated with calm and protection, and is often linked to the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/crown-chakra\"\u003ecrown chakra\u003c\/a\u003e, the energy center associated with higher awareness. A piece of this size is often chosen as a dramatic centerpiece for an altar or meditation space — see more in the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/amethyst\"\u003eamethyst\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/spheres\"\u003espheres\u003c\/a\u003e collections for other sizes and stone types cut the same way.\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRest the sphere on a proper stand or a stable ring dish so it doesn't roll off a shelf or table — most stone spheres this size need a supporting base. Many people place it as a centerpiece on an altar or meditation table, or simply turn it in hand from time to time to take in the color and clarity from different angles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare \u0026amp; cleansing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmethyst is a durable quartz variety (Mohs 7) and tolerates a quick rinse in cool water and a wipe with a soft cloth. It is not a soft or reactive stone, so there is no toxicity or solubility concern — but prolonged soaking isn't necessary, and leaving it in strong, direct sunlight for long periods can gradually fade its purple color, so a shaded shelf or drawer is kinder to the stone. Many people like to cleanse their crystals energetically with sound, moonlight, or a smudge stick; any of these is a matter of personal practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Amethyst Sphere (6cm)?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's a polished natural amethyst sphere approximately 6cm in diameter, used as a display and meditation piece.
