About The Material These Picks Are Made From:

Plectrums made from stone have been used traditionally throughout the world since the dawn of stringed instruments millennia ago. Amethyst is semiprecious gemstone that is a violet or purple form of quartz crystal. It can range from a light lavender color to a dark purple, and is widely considered the most desirable type of quartz. Until larger deposits were discovered in Brazil in the 18th century amethyst was one of the most expensive gemstones in the world, and was considered a Cardinal Gem alongside diamonds, sapphires, rubies, and emeralds.

Amethyst has been used by humans since ancient times, and has been valued for its aesthetic qualities as well as its healing and metaphysical properties for thousands of years. Ancient Egypt, ancient China, ancient Greece, and many other civilizations all prized it for use in goblets, beads, amulets, rings, and other ornaments. The uses and meaning varied over time and across cultures. The ancient Greeks believed amethyst could prevent intoxication from alcohol and made wine goblets out of it, in China it was associated with increasing wealth, in medieval Europe amulets were worn by soldiers in battle as it was believed it could heal people and keep them level headed. Amethyst is also the gemstone for the month of February.

Amethyst is a hard and durable stone, with a 7 rating on the Mohs hardness scale, which makes it a fantastic and long lasting material for use in guitar picks.
