Three facted  teardrop shaped Amethyst gemstones set in silver and 9ct gold plated . The Amethysts create a lovely accent of colour within the heart shaped pendant . The Amethysts vary slightly in colour . The heart pendant is 3.3cm long and 3cm wide and comes complete with an 18 inch (45cm ) silver gold plated chain. 

Amethyst is a silicate mineral with traces of iron formed when silica rich solutions entered rock cavities, evaporated to form beautiful crystals . In the right conditions the iron in the crystals is irradiated  so producing the purple colour of the stone.

 Amethyst is said to alleviate stress, improve insomnia and even prevent drunkenness!!!  This suggestion dates back to the times of the Ancient Greeks who fashioned Amethyst drinking vessels believing they would protect against drunkenness . However, perhaps some deception was involved  as the vessels could be filled with water but the colour of the Amethyst made it appear that they were filled with red wine and so you would not get intoxicated !

A birthstone for Pisces and Aquarius.
