Ok, caption section was too short. Let me continue here, LOL:
...Amethyst is the sobriety stone and brings out courage and inner strength. I just happened across a bunch of these right before I became sober this last time. I wasn't sure why but I was drawn to it. Go figure.
Note the rough, crystalized sharp edges that converge into a tight strong center. Much like an addict, no?
Now I have to make jewelry with them :) Sobriety jewelry!
