These Amethyst Stalactite Slice cufflinks are prong set in white rhodium plated sterling silver.  Stalactites take millions of years to form with a unique core of agate encrusted with purple pointed crystals, resembling flowers from the prehistoric times. The formation begins with a single drop of mineral rich water that keeps dripping from the roof of a cave. Each subsequent drop that forms and falls deposits another ring and over time these rings create a stunning column of minerals. These are truly works of art by the ultimate creator, mother nature, so they will differ in color and approximate size. 

Some sources believe that the stalactites connect one to a secret expansion of the higher self, as well as a powerful healer for the immune system.  Once upon a time it was believed placing an amethyst stone at the navel had a sobering effect for both alcohol consumption and over indulgent moments of passion. Ancient Greeks and Romans studded their goblets with amethyst believing it would keep them from getting inebriated.  Bishops and priests wore amethyst in rings to protect them from mystical intoxication. So the next time you raise your goblet be sure that these cufflinks will be there to watch over you, please don’t rely on them too much though, they still can’t drive for you.
