Amethyst Candlelight, a Little Garden of Light
Pale lilac points mingle with deeper purple across this amethyst candle holder, their flat faces catching bright highlights. Clear-looking and white areas soften the colour beneath them. Closely gathered yet sharply angular, the points rise around a round central recess—an open heart within the piece’s broad, jagged outline.
Along the rough lower edge, blue-grey and dark green-grey bands offer a cooler contrast, while small brown specks appear among the points. Amethyst’s name comes from the Greek amethystos, recalling an old belief about sobriety: a fragment of history carried in the name.
In a small imagined botanical garden, the purple points become flowering terraces. The circular centre opens like a clearing, framed by translucent peaks, bright facets and a wonderfully unruly rim.
