The amethyst pendant matching the gemstone malas is about 4.2 x 3.0cm and made of rhodium-plated silver 925. The triangular amethyst cabochon is 3 x 3 x 3cm.
Attached to the eyelet of the amethyst pendant is a pendant with the Om symbol, a chili pod (all made of silver 925) and a rudraksha nut.
Amethyst represents inner peace in modern stone healing; the mineral is used to support alertness and awareness, as well as to strengthen judgment and constructive thinking - so amethyst is an ideal stone for mala pendants.
The gemstone mala pendant is part of the Chili Jewels "Spirit Line" collection.
The name amethyst is derived from the Greek word amethystos (counteracting intoxication) and refers to the ancestral belief that with an amethyst one would be protected against the intoxicating effects of wine and other alcohol. Spellings such as Amathyst, Amethist, Ametist, Ametyhst, Ametyst, Amnethyst, Amthyst or Amythist are therefore incorrect.
