Scratch risk
Generally compatible with care. Hardness is only one factor; edges and crystal points can still chip.
Water care
Use the more cautious rule: Brief contact is usually tolerated; avoid long soaking and sudden temperature change. Use a damp cloth rather than long soaking; dry deep striations thoroughly.
Storage
For travel or active wear, individual soft pouches prevent repeated surface contact and impact.
Traditional symbolism
Amethyst: Historically associated with sobriety, calm, and clarity. These are cultural traditions, not demonstrated medical effects.
Black Tourmaline (Schorl): Often used symbolically for grounding or protection in contemporary practice.
Symbolic compatibility is a cultural or personal interpretation and does not change physical care requirements.
