About this piece

Clear purple Amethyst beads with a row of seven chakra-colour beads (deep red, orange, yellow, green, turquoise and two shades of blue), silver spacers and a silver-tone Buddha head charm. Strung on stretch cord, so it fits most wrists.

The story

Amethyst is a purple form of quartz. Its name comes from an old Greek word meaning “not drunk”, because people believed it kept the mind clear and sober. Purple is also the colour of the crown chakra, linked with peace and spiritual connection, so this bracelet pairs Amethyst with all seven chakra colours and a calm Buddha.

Who can wear it

Anyone, of any rashi, age or gender. Good for people with busy minds, students, and anyone who prays or meditates. Amethyst is often worn as a gentle stone for Shani, and is part of the Kumbh rashi bracelet.

How to wear

• Best first worn on a Saturday, the day of Shani.
• Hold it in your palm, take a few slow breaths, then wear it.
• Usually worn on the left wrist.

Care

• Remove before bathing, swimming or applying perfume.
• Keep it out of strong sunlight for long hours, as Amethyst can fade.
• Keep it dry so the silver spacers and Buddha charm do not tarnish. Cleanse under moonlight now and then.
