Amethyst and Chevron Amethyst Beads

Between Amethyst and amethyst, my heart is torn.  There is:

• the color amethyst,
• the quartz Amethyst,
• the quartz Chevron Amethyst and
• the Agate variety, called amethyst Sage Agate.  

So many choices to make ...

Dune beads' Amethyst quartz has a medium to deep purple color. Major deposits of this popular purple stone are found in Brazil.

Traditionally Amethyst is the birthstone of February. It is said to help against insomnia and to bring about pleasant dreams. See http://dunebeads.com/en/february-s-birthstone-a-message-of-freedom-joy-and-amethyst 

Chevron Amethyst belongs also to the quartz family as it combines both white quartz and purple Amethyst quartz in a chevron or banded pattern.

It is said to repel all kinds of negative influences.
