German Amethyst Pendant - Handmade

Handcrafted pendant made from amethyst from the well-known Schlottwitz deposit in Saxony, Germany.

Treasures from Schlottwitz – Agate & Amethyst
Schlottwitz in Saxony is a well-known site for exceptionally beautiful vein agates and amethysts. These formed millions of years ago in fissures and crevices within rock formations, permeated by hot, silica-rich water. As mineral-rich solutions gradually deposited layers, colorful bands of quartz were created – predominantly red and grey agate, violet amethyst, and white quartz.
In Schlottwitz, intense tectonic activity caused the original agate vein to fracture multiple times. These cracks later healed, resulting in so-called “breccia agates” with their characteristic fractured and re-cemented patterns. The stones found here are mainly composed of red and grey agate, blended with amethyst and white quartz. Their natural color gradients and inclusions make each piece a unique little work of art.

From discovery to jewelry – personally crafted
What makes this piece of jewelry special: I personally collected the stone in Schlottwitz. With great care, I gathered, sorted, cleaned, and finally hand-shaped the raw material into a one-of-a-kind creation.

Crafted with care: handcrafted gemstone pendants made in Germany
I craft my mineral and gemstone pendants with love and care by hand in Germany. Each piece of jewelry undergoes several precise stages of production: from cutting the raw stone to shaping and grinding it with various diamond grinding wheels, and finally, polishing it to perfection.
This meticulous process allows me to create unique jewelry that beautifully reflects the diversity and magnificence of nature.
