Amethyst tumbled stones

Amethyst tumbled stones combine the beauty of natural crystals with a pleasant, hand-friendly shape. A special grinding process transforms raw amethysts into smooth, oval or round stones—ideal for daily wear, meditation, or as a pocket companion. The powerful radiance of the violet quartz is fully preserved. Whether as a healing stone, decorative object, or part of a gemstone mix: Amethyst tumbled stones are versatile and an absolute must-have for every gemstone lover.

What are amethyst tumbled stones?

Amethyst tumbled stones are created by mechanically or manually tumbled (polishing) raw amethyst. This process rounds the edges, smooths the surface, and intensifies the natural color. The resulting stone is particularly comfortable to hold, stable, and suitable for everyday use. Many people carry amethyst tumbled stones in their pockets, use them as hand warmers, or place them under their pillow or on specific parts of the body for energetic application.
