It’s absolutely beautiful! I have to say, as soon as I took it out of the box I could feel how strong it is!! Not only is it stunning it’s also very powerful. When I put it on I instantly felt calm and divine!! You can feel its energy when you run your finger up and down the ridges.I highly recommend this
Amethyst is my birthstone so I'm quite picky to start and WOW this babe blew me away!!! The polish is perfect & it has so many intricate rainbows & some phantom zoning too, keeping this one in my collection 4eva!
Immediately after touching the ridges on this beautiful necklace you feel the energy and connection . Just holding it in my hands was stirring and then wearing it connects you to a higher power!
