Crack open the right rock and you find a cave lined with purple crystals. This cluster is a piece of one.

Amethyst clusters form inside hollow pockets in volcanic rock, where purple quartz crystals grow inward from the walls. This one is our A quality: lots of glossy points in rich violet, still attached to their grey base. It's a nice, generous size for a shelf, mantel or entry table.

Amethyst is the purple one everyone recognizes, traditionally linked with peace, calm and a restful home. A cluster like this is often the first big crystal people buy. It catches the light from every angle, so it never looks the same twice.

How to use it

• Set it on a mantel or entry table
• Place it in a bedroom for a calm feel
• Rest small tumbled stones among the points
• Make it the anchor of a crystal shelf

Care: Dust it with a soft brush and keep it out of strong, direct sun so the purple stays deep.
