Stylish resin bottle opener with stainless steel hardware and embedded amethyst gemstones. Amethyst is a violet variety of quartz and is the birthstone for February. In classical times, amethyst was believed to protect the wearer from becoming drunk. The name comes from the Greek amethystos, which means ‘not intoxicated.’ Most of the world's supply of Amethyst currently comes from Brazil and Uruguay.
The amethyst stones are embedded in resin in a mould and the hardware attached with resin, making this piece a strong but stylish addition to your bar or a great gift idea for your family and friends, or someone who just appreciates beautiful objects!
I've made one only each of this type of bottle opener with the following inclusions -
- Amethyst (see description above).
- Lapis Lazuli (A semiprecious stone valued for its deep blue colour. The source of the pigment ultramarine, it is not a mineral but a rock coloured by lazurite. It is said to stimulate the third eye chakra, enhancing intuition and spiritual awareness. This is why it's often used in meditation and spiritual practices. Lapis Lazuli is also known for its protective properties).
- Peridot (Peridot sometimes called chrysolite, is a yellow-green transparent variety of olivine. Peridot is one of the few gemstones that occur in only one colour. It forms deep inside the Earth's mantle and is brought to the surface by volcanoes).
- Rose Quartz (Rose quartz is one of the many quartz varieties used as a gemstone. It gets its name from its delicate pink colour, which ranges from very light (almost white), to medium-dark. The use of rose quartz is said to date back as far as 7,000 BC and it has also been claimed that Egyptian and Roman women used rose quartz face masks to clear their complexions and prevent wrinkles. Today rose quartz is often used as jewellery, for meditation, or as decoration in homes or office spaces).
- Sea Glass (Sea glass pieces are shards of glass that have been smoothed over time by the tumbling action of water, waves, and sand. As pieces of glass soak in salt water and get tossed against the sand by the waves for anywhere from years to decades, all the sharp edges and corners become smooth).
