Amethyst Chip Bracelet

Description

Amethyst Crystal Chips on an elastic bracelet. Handmade for Sigrid’s Lair.

Amethyst is a purple variety of quartz (SiO2) and owes its violet color to impurities of iron and in some cases other transition metals, and the presence of other trace elements, which result in complex crystal lattice substitutions. The hardness of the crystal is the same as quartz, thus making it suitable for use in jewellery.

Crystal chip bracelets are smooth crystals so will not ‘dig in’ to your skin. They will carry the same properties as an equivalent power bracelet. The decision is purely which you would prefer to wear.

Crystal chip bracelets are cheaper than power bracelets because there is not so much production involved in making the crystal stones the right shape for use. Also the crystals themselves are marginally smaller.
