Hollowed by Hand: Courage Meets Geometry in Volatile Stone
Carving a vessel from amethyst demands near-alchemical skill. Our Jaipur artisans begin with solid blocks of violet quartz, drilling and hollowing interiors by hand — a days-long process where one wrong stroke could fracture the entire form.
More than a tool, this collection of amethyst barware is a conversation between millennia: measuring spirits with the same stone ancients believed tamed intoxication - the ancient Greek word amethystos means ‘not drunken'.

Preserving Your Hand-Hollowed Amethyst Vessels
DO:
Rest before use: Let sit at room temperature 10 minutes before adding liquid.
Clean immediately with soft cloth + tepid water/mild soap (focus on interior).
Dry thoroughly with lint-free cloth, especially the base.
Store upright in padded sleeve (provided).
DON’T:
Pour boiling liquids or chilled spirits (<10°C).
Use scrubbers, dishwashers, vinegar, or citrus-based cleaners.
Soak, steam, microwave, or expose to direct heat.
Clink against glass/metal surfaces - this can cause chipping.
NOTE:
Minor variations in translucency, veining, or natural fissures are nature’s signature—not flaws. With care, your amethyst barware will deepen in character over time, developing a soft patina from cherished use. Like all true heirlooms, they grow more beautiful with story.
