The World’s Biggest Amethyst Geode
Within our Hong Kong office is the world’s largest amethyst geode discovered in Brazil (Rio Grande Do Sul) in 1923. This rare giant weighs 1,239 kg and took six months to excavate. The Amethyst geode has a chemical formula of silicon oxide (SiO2). This is truly a superior feng shui stone. The heavily condensed Amethyst points in the interior of the stone create positive energy resonance which is beneficial in many aspects, such as health, wealth and good fortune. This one of a kind gemstone is suitable for the living room area of homes or within offices.

What’s In Fashion
At Jewellery City, we are constantly sourcing for the latest and most fashionable stones and styles to keep our customers chic and elegant. One of our current store favourites is the quartz, chalcedony. It comes in many colours but the latest trends are towards the purple and lavender versions. The stones vary from translucent to opaque and some may have a soft, milky lustre, while others display a blend of dark and light hues. The gem chalcedony is named for the ancient seaport of Chalcedon in present-day Turkey, just a short distance from Istanbul. Chalcedony has been used as talismans and adornments for centuries. The popularity of chalcedony has much to do with its durability and hardness as well as its wide range of colours.
