Question

Amethyst Cross

QUESTION: Hi There,
I live in Wales UK. I am looking for a raw amethyst cross at least 5 Cms, not mms, in length.It needs to have a hole drilled to attatch a bale,or with one already attatched.Could you possibly tell me where I can obtain one from?
It would be an anniversary present from my husband, but would also have a very deep spiritual connection and meaning for me.
I look forward to your reply.
With Thanks,
Bev

ANSWER: Hi,

What to you mean by raw? Un-polished?

Regards,

QUESTION: Hi,
I managed to find the exct type of cross that I'm looking for, but smaller.
I would like one exactly like this only larger
With Thanks,
Bev

Answer
Hi,

I have looked around and it seems large amethyst is not the easiest to find. However you might want to consider making your cross by amethyst inlay instead. A frame work made of silver or what ever metal then inlay large pieces it would not look exactly like you want but would be nice.

I will keep my eyes open for what you want and let you know what I find.

Regards,
