These beautiful dainty Faceted Gemstone Sterling Silver Earrings have a prong setting come in Amethyst, Citrine, Garnet and Blue Topaz.
Amethyst is a purple variety of quartz and owes its violet color to irradiation, iron impurities, and the presence of trace elements, which result in complex crystal lattice substitutions. The hardness of amethyst is the same as quartz, 7. The ancient Greeks wore Amethyst and carved drinking vessels from it in the belief that it would prevent intoxication. What does Amethyst do metaphysically? Amethyst is the power stone of the Crown Chakra and is thought metaphysically to transform negative energy into positive energy along with helping overcome grief and sadness to bring inner peace.
Citrine is the yellow to brownish-red variety of the mineral quartz and has the same Mohs rating being 7. Citrine is widely utilized as a gemstone, and after amethyst, citrine quartz is the most popular quartz gem. Citrine metaphysically promotes motivation, activates creativity and encourages self-expression. Citrine is also an essential stone of the sacral chakra.
Garnets are a group of silicate minerals that have been utilized since the Bronze Age as gemstones, abrasives, and are rated between 6.5 and 7.5 on the Mohs hardness scale. All species of garnets possess similar physical properties and crystal forms, but differ in chemical composition. Garnets are metaphysically thought to open the heart's expressions of love, passion and sensuality.
