Finally got my hands on an amethyst stone, the stall had some in stock this week. Amethyst is a well-known stone, and for good reason too; it has lots of wonderful healing properties about it. Anyone who likes crystals for healing should have one of these. Amethyst is also the birthstone for February.

The name comes from the fact that it looks like an alchemy potion bottle. I loved wrapping this stone as it has a nice shape and the design that I improvised on the spot seems to look nice. 🙂

Materials: Amethyst gemstone, 0.80mm copper wire, two Amethyst Swarovski AB bicone beads
