Each cabochon measures 9.2 x 9.2 x 5.1mm, and the pair is completely unheated and untreated. The internal structure is clean enough for the lavender color to read evenly across both stones, so the two present as a true matched pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRwandan amethyst was discovered in 2015, and it has quickly gained acclaim as some of the finest amethyst available in the gem world because of its vivid saturation and even color distribution. Most amethyst rough on the market is heat treated to improve its color, while Rwandan material rarely requires any treatment. That matters in the stone medicine space, because practitioners work only with untreated, natural gemstones and specimens, and it makes an unheated matched pair like this one a rare find on the open market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHAT THIS STONE IS USED FOR\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA matched cabochon pair serves two audiences. For jewelry artists, the pair is sized and matched for earrings or a coordinated pendant-and-ring set. For stone medicine practitioners, a matched pair lets you place identical stones at two points of the body at once, such as both palms or either side of the head, for a balanced, symmetrical delivery in a body layout. Amethyst connects to the crown chakra, and this pair suits meditation, spiritual strength work, and etheric revitalization.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVIBRATIONAL PROFILE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViolet Frequency:\u003c\/strong\u003e The lavender purple color gives this pair its violet frequency component. The violet frequency is a powerful force for building up the spleen and white blood cells, supporting the lymphatic system, and revitalizing the etheric energy body. It moves more quickly and penetrates more deeply than the white frequency, and it has the unique ability to amplify any other vibrational frequency it accompanies. Rudolf Steiner identified violet as the Life Ether, the highest of the four ethers, and described its capacity to penetrate solid matter and anchor spiritual archetypes into physical form. Working with the violet band can strengthen spiritual focus and open the way to deeper meditative states. The violet frequency also aligns with the 'Violet Flame' of Western esotericism, which speaks to alchemical transmutation and inner transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMINERAL TYPE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Quartz (variety amethyst)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCUT:\u003c\/strong\u003e Round cabochon pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePHENOMENON:\u003c\/strong\u003e None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCOLOR:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pure lavender purple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLARITY:\u003c\/strong\u003e VS (very slightly included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTRANSPARENCY:\u003c\/strong\u003e Transparent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWEIGHT:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.80 cttw (carats total weight)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSIZE:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.2 x 9.2 x 5.1mm each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eORIGIN:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rwanda\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTREATMENT:\u003c\/strong\u003e None (unheated, untreated)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHARDNESS:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7 (Mohs scale)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eREFRACTIVE INDEX (RI):\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.544-1.553\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBIREFRINGENCE:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.009\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFIC GRAVITY (SG):\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.65\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCRYSTAL SYSTEM:\u003c\/strong\u003e Trigonal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCHEMICAL COMPOSITION:\u003c\/strong\u003e SiO₂ with iron and trace minerals responsible for the purple hue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e✦ HAND-SELECTED AND VIBRATIONALLY TESTED\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis amethyst pair has been personally sourced and tested by Ashley Sohl, Ph.D. candidate, GIA-trained gemologist, and originator of archetypal stonework.
