Rough Amethyst Points

These amethyst points come straight from the ground with none of the polish sanded off, edges still sharp in places, color pooling darker at the tip than at the base the way it actually grew. If the polished towers on the shelf next to them feel a little too finished, this is the unfiltered version.

Set one on a windowsill where morning light catches the facets, or keep it on a desk as a reminder that something does not need to be smoothed over to be worth keeping. The natural termination at the top is the crystal's own growth point, not a cut edge, and the depth of purple depends on how much iron and natural irradiation the stone picked up while forming underground.

You'll be sent the point intuitively chosen for you, since shape and color depth vary piece to piece.
