Rough Banded Amethyst Stones
Three rough, unpolished chevron amethyst stones from Brazil.
This mineral is also known as banded amethyst, but this name is mainly used in the UK. In metaphysical circles, the name Dream Amethyst is now also being used.
These stones have been washed and lightly sanded to smooth rough edges but are otherwise in their natural state.
Polishing rocks and minerals enhances colour and subtle features.
The name Chevron Amethyst came about because of its distinctive V-shaped patterns.
Each white band represents a different phase of growth and crystallisation. The amount of white quartz in chevron amethyst can vary significantly. The unique patterns are shaped by several factors, including temperature and pressure during the mineral's formation.
