Chevron amethyst is amethyst layered with bands of white quartz in V-shaped patterns. The chevron effect gives it a very different look from standard amethyst, more architectural, more geometric.
These tumbled stones come from Copperbelt Province, Zambia. Worth knowing: a lot of the chevron amethyst on the market is heat-treated and irradiated. What we carry is natural and untreated.
From Greek 'a-methystos' meaning 'not drunk', ancient Greeks believed amethyst prevented intoxication and carved drinking vessels from it.
Chevron amethyst has long been used in practices around listening to the quieter signals, a simple anchor during practice, and quiet, steady calm. It's traditionally linked to the third eye and crown chakras. If that resonates, set it in front of you during meditation or quiet reflection. There's no single right way to carry it.
These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
A starting place for your own quiet practice.
