I am making a project about amethysts they seem to be the huge story for summer/fall.

But the key is getting the lots with all the stones the same size neighborhood and chip color.

Anybody have a good recommendation for real and synthetic stones in large 36 inch temp strung or loose lots?

Can be polished or rough, with a nice hand please.

I love Amethysts. For one thing, it's my birthstone and I love the color purple. But you are right about trying top match the stones. Here are some links to some sites that sell loose amethysts:
h**p://www.geolite.com/amethyst.htm
h**p://rashiinc.com/Amethyst_stones.htm
Make sure you talk to them on the phone and explain that you are trying to get stones that are as close to matching as possible.

Amethysts are the big fashion story for fall. A lot of chains with colors not just metals for winter accessories and colors up a lot of the beiges and grays and browns.

BLUE the giver of Love, devotion and harmony. Its stone is the Amethyst, the super-sacred of the seven jewels. Pale blue in the aura represents devotion, while dark blue shows fanaticism.

An amethyst project sounds really interesting. I love the stone too; I think the dark purple shade is really unique. It's very appropriate that the stone represents calming, because I've always thought that purple is a very soothing, soft color. It's nice to hear that amethysts will be in for fall!

The lavender chalcedony is very intriguing.
