Om Showpiece in Natural Amethyst

Om drawn in thirty three square cut natural amethysts, framed in walnut and standing on its own engraved base. The safest good gift there is, because it suits any Indian home without needing to be explained.

An Om showpiece for a pooja room, a mandir shelf, a meditation corner, a study or an entrance. Square stones are an unusual choice for a curved character. Each one has to be turned slightly against the one before it so the eye reads a continuous line rather than a row of blocks. It is the most exacting of our pieces to lay, and the reason the finished Om has a faceted, almost architectural quality that rounded stones cannot give.

The amethyst is a deep violet throughout, set against cream suede and framed in solid wood. Om is the first sound, the one held to contain everything that follows. It belongs in a puja room, a meditation corner, or anywhere a household begins its day.

Our most approachable price, which makes it the usual choice as a griha pravesh gift, a Diwali gift, a housewarming gift for a friend or colleague, or a gift for a new office.

In the tradition, amethyst is used as a stone of Shani, associated with patience, discipline and steadiness, and often chosen as a gentler alternative to blue sapphire. This is a traditional association rather than a claim about what the stone will do.

This is an object for a room, not a stone to be worn. Made in small numbers in New Delhi, certified, insured and gift boxed.
