A VERY DIFFERENTLY GRADED ITEM - EXTREMELY HIGH QUALITY DREAMY AMETHYST OBELISK WHICH HAD BEEN GEM GRADED. (see below for Gem Grading)  BY THE IMPORTER.
 
FULL OF CLEAR AND SMOKY QUARTZ EVIDENT ON THE OBELISK WITH LOADS OF SWIRLING MIXTURES OF MULTI-COLOURED PURPLES, CLEAR AND SMOKY QUARTZ CONTENT. EVEN A TINY LITTLE CAVE SO YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE NATURAL SMOKY QUARTZ FORMATION. 
DISPLAYABLE ON EVERY SIDE OF THE OBELISK. EVERY SIDE IS DIFFERENT.
 
The Gem Grade comes from detailed inspection of the stones and the inspector or QA person identifies the quality of crystals within the structure. We have only had 3 previous Dreamy Amethyst that were Gem Graded previously. So, what does that mean? Simply put, if the Amethyst gemstones were to be extracted they could move into the jewellery industry to become smaller stones used in rings, necklaces and other forms of settings.
 
The photos don't do this item any real justice unfortunately, but I tried to capture the best bits and every side of the Obelisk.
 
This natural dream amethyst is, quite simply, a dream. Dazzling, daring, and ornate in their beauty, these crystals are pure love, peace, and magic. Natural dream amethyst is banded amethyst, or chevron amethyst – a combination of amethyst, quartz, and smoky quartz. The multi-colored banding within this stone reveals a layered trinity of gemstones in gorgeous swirling grays, whites, and purples. These pieces bring you the peaceful properties of amethyst, the magnifying properties of quartz, and the protective and purifying properties of smoky quartz. What a holy trinity of gemstone magic all wrapped in one. Could this be a dream? No, it’s not – these gems are the real thing!
 
The deeper magic of this natural dream amethyst
Banded amethyst is a stone of the Root, Third Eye, and Crown Chakras, powerful in enhancing intuition and clearing the aura. It creates a protective bubble around you, wrapping you in a shield to ward off psychic attacks and negative energy. It also mitigates your resistance to change, helping you grow spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. Banded amethyst is also a powerful manifestation stone and works especially well in crystal grids. It deepens meditation and enhances the quality of visions and inspiration received from the higher realms.
 
Note: We only get around 3 - 4 Gem Graded Dreamy Ametyst obelisks per year. We charge the normal mark-up as we do other gemstones and crystals, so no seller premium pricing as far as Earthstore is concerned.
 
EARTHSTORE is a small family business based in Aberdeen, Scotland.
We buy only from a select number of ethical wholesalers in the UK and three other family-owned businesses in India, Bali and China, all of whom care as much as we do about sustainability, the environment, ethics in mining, people welfare, carbon footprint, zero child labour and reducing waste wherever possible.
What does our tag line mean "Making crystals affordable to all". When people shop with us, many people say, "this is so cheap, I paid lots more for the same thing at ....", we inform our customers that our overheads, our wholesale sources (in the UK and overseas) are different from others. We can’t ever be the lowest cost, because we know we can't compete with so many overseas businesses selling the “SAME LOOKING” item.
We have spent years buying samples and making sure what we offer is solid, sound and we know is ethically sourced. For that level of distinction, we know we pay a premium, what we offer is genuine value for money to our customers, never knowingly over pricing our items.
