This sphere (about 150g) is graded B quality, meaning it shows natural color and clarity variation — softer banding, occasional included areas, or uneven saturation — rather than the more uniform, deep-saturation look of higher grades. It is still a genuine, beautifully polished amethyst piece, and many people love the character that natural variation brings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuick facts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStone\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAmethyst (quartz variety)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComposition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSilicon dioxide (SiO2) with trace iron\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardness (Mohs)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePurple, with natural banding (B quality = more visible natural variation)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrazil, Uruguay, and other quartz-producing regions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChakra\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/crown-chakra\"\u003eCrown\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTraditionally used for\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCalm, intuition, spiritual protection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare \/ Water-safe\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGenerally water-safe for a quick rinse; avoid prolonged direct sunlight, which can fade color over time\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; history\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn crystal tradition, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/amethyst\"\u003eamethyst\u003c\/a\u003e is associated with calm, intuition, and spiritual protection, and is often connected to the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/crown-chakra\"\u003ecrown chakra\u003c\/a\u003e.
