A favorite material of ancient cultures, amethyst has endured the ages as one of man's most prized possessions. Amethyst ranges in color from a very light lavender to a deep violet shade of purple sometimes with slight hues of pink and red. Banded amethyst or cape amethyst may have lines of agate or chalcedony running through the amethyst. This may also be called chevron amethyst. Amethyst is found worldwide and has the distinction of being the birthstone for February and the official gemstone of the province of Ontario.

Carved eggs are popular items in home décor. They are also gaining popularity as items that are being used for meditation. They are nice to hold and feel, and are quickly becoming very collectible.
The collector's passion for eggs from different material, from undecorated gemstone eggs to large egg creations, has lasted until the present day, and there are still many egg collectors and admirers in the various cultures of our world.

The egg symbolizes fertility. The egg shape symbolizes the first step that we must complete in order to achieve the realization of our goals and dreams. It also symbolizes things that have no beginning and no end.

In meditation, one should hold the egg in your hand. Many believe they have a special, comforting feeling.
Collectors sometimes collect individual eggs, and sometimes collect large egg collections in “nests” or baskets.

This gemstone mini egg is a beautiful addition to any home; whether for yourself or a gift for a loved one.
