Core Crystal: Natural Amethyst Column
The crystal column at the top of the dagger is carefully selected from natural amethyst sourced from mining areas in Minas Gerais, Brazil, and Uruguay. The crystals boast high transparency, with interwoven light and dark purple bands (known as “millennium stripes” in the industry) — a hallmark of top-tier amethyst. In mysticism, amethyst symbolizes “spiritual awakening and the channel of wisdom”; it’s believed to purify negative energy and enhance intuition, making it ideal for channeling spiritual power in rituals.

Carvings & Metal: Brass with Gold Plating + Reinforced Resin
The golden leaf-shaped carvings on the handle are hand-cast from brass, with a gold-plated finish. This not only preserves the metal’s warm luster but also extends durability via anti-oxidation treatment. The “vine” design mimics the winding form of natural plants, with each leaf’s texture carved by hand for lifelike detail. The black handle is crafted from obsidian composite resin (a blend of obsidian fragments and resin, balancing hardness and safety). Obsidian’s volcanic glass texture carries symbolic “evil-warding and protective” properties, complementing amethyst’s role in “spiritual elevation” to create an interconnected energy field.

Inlaid Gemstones: Moonstone & Amethyst
A moonstone (featuring a milky base with pale blue iridescence) is set at the center of the carving, symbolizing “the moon’s gentle power” — it tempers amethyst’s sharper energy during rituals. The round gem at the handle’s base is amethyst from the same raw material, echoing the top crystal column in color and amplifying the overall energy field.
The amethyst columns originate from ancient ore veins in Minas Gerais, Brazil — a global hub for premium amethyst, renowned for “rich hue, striking patterns, and pure energy”. Miners follow “sustainable mining” principles, only harvesting crystals with intact structures and no visible cracks. These stones are then hand-selected by our design team to ensure each column’s purple veining has unique artistic merit (e.g., the “gradient purple stripes” in the third image, dubbed “Dark Nebula”).
Obsidian is sourced from volcanic relics in Mexico — a material the Aztec civilization once used for ceremonial tools, believing it could “pierce illusion and bridge the underworld and mortal realm”. By combining obsidian with resin, we retain its energetic properties while solving natural obsidian’s brittleness, making the dagger suitable for both daily use and ritual work.
Inspiration for this dagger came from the designer’s field research in the Amazon Rainforest — where vines entwine glowing fungi on rainy nights, resembling “the earth’s magical veins” in torchlight. To merge “the vitality of nature” with “crystals’ mystical energy”, we spent six months developing the piece:
-
Step 1: Clay Prototyping Hand-sculpt vine and leaf shapes from clay, refining curves to mimic natural growth.
-
Step 2: Brass Casting Transform clay prototypes into brass blanks via lost-wax casting, then artisans use carving knives to refine every leaf’s veins.
-
Step 3: Crystal Inlay Custom-make metal slots for each amethyst column, ensuring a seamless fit with the carved base (without disrupting the crystal’s natural energy flow).
-
Step 4: Energetic Tuning Post-production, we perform an “energy purification ritual” on the new moon: smudging the dagger with white sage, then charging it under moonlight for 72 hours to harmonize material and spiritual qualities.
In modern mystic practice, this dagger serves as a core tool for “elemental summoning”: amethyst aligns with “spiritual energy”, obsidian with “earth energy”, golden carvings with “fire energy”, and moonstone with “water energy” — together, they activate a complete ritual energy field. For daily display, it’s also a collectible blending “fantasy aesthetics and spiritual symbolism”: amethyst’s purple glow and the gold carvings’ vintage charm add mystery and luxury to spaces, perfect for magic-themed studies, altars, or display cabinets.
(Note: Each dagger is handcrafted, so amethyst patterns and carving details vary slightly — a hallmark of natural materials and artisanal work.)
