Amethyst crystals have to
be one of the most glamorous gemstones that I use in my
vases, Certainly they are one of my favorites, even though
they can be very problematic to use. I believe that black
or neutral gray colours of stone best compliment purple
amethyst, So I generally use amethyst crystals in a dense
black slate from South Africa or the silvery blue-gray
stone from the west coast of Canada. Very occasionally
some purple elements in a multi-colored slate from India
convince me to include some amethyst crystals in a super
colorful vase.

Often my vases are
purchased as gifts. Vases with amethyst crystals are
particularly suitable for a thirty third wedding
anniversary gift, Amethyst being the traditional gemstone
to mark this momentous occasion. Amethyst is also the
birthstone for those born in February.
These vases are sturdy
and stable and their textures are enjoyable even to the sight
impaired.
The vases are all
waterproof and watertight. They can be washed without
problem. The glass liner ensures that no water seeps onto
furniture.
