Violet Hour — Amethyst Aroma Lamp

The Calm Lamp · Amethyst · Smoke-Grey Glass

The violet hour is the last light of dusk, when the sky turns purple and the day lets go. This lamp is filled to the brim with raw amethyst — deep grape in daylight, glowing lavender the moment the light comes on.

The energy

Calm, with a clear head. Amethyst is the classic stone of calm and intuition in crystal tradition, and February’s birthstone. Violet Hour is the lamp for the last hour of the day — dimmed, scented and slow.

• Amethyst — From the Greek amethystos, ‘not intoxicated’. Prized by ancient Greeks, medieval bishops and Catherine the Great alike, amethyst is the classic stone of calm and intuition — and February’s birthstone.

How it works

1. Fill the smoke-grey glass with the stones and set it on the wooden base.
2. Add 3–5 drops of fragrance oil to the top stones.
3. Turn on the light and choose a tone — cool white, warm or neutral — and a brightness.
4. The stones hold the oil and release the scent slowly as it evaporates: no flame, no water, no mist to refill. Add a drop or two whenever it fades.

Good to know: this is a gentle, close-range scent for a nightstand, desk or shelf — think of it as a glowing scent stone rather than a room-filling diffuser.

Choose your base

• Rechargeable — A touch button on the side of the base switches between three tones of light and adjusts brightness. Charge it over USB, then use it cord-free — the workshop measured about 12 hours of cool or warm light per charge (6–7 hours in neutral) at 80% brightness.
• USB plug-in — The same solid-wood base with an inline switch on its cable for on/off, tone and brightness. It runs from any USB port or 5 V adapter, so there is nothing to recharge.

Inside the box

• Amethyst, approx. 400 g, in 2–3 cm (0.8–1.2 in) pieces
• Smoke-grey glass vessel, approx. 7.5 cm across × 8.5 cm tall (3 × 3.3 in) — a few lifestyle photos show a clear glass; the set ships with smoke-grey
• Solid-wood light base, approx. 8 cm × 2 cm (3.1 × 0.8 in), 5 V — rechargeable or USB plug-in, your choice above
• One 10 ml (0.33 fl oz) bottle of fragrance oil — the scent is chosen at random by the workshop

How to live with it

Where it shines: A nightstand, a meditation corner or a reading nook — anywhere you go to slow down.

An evening wind-down ritual: An hour before bed, switch to warm light, add two drops of oil and put your phone in another room. Let the violet hour be the last thing you look at.

Size & weight

About 8 cm wide × 10 cm tall (3.1 × 3.9 in) on its base; the top stones may sit just above the rim. Stones approx. 400 g (14 oz) in total; the whole lamp weighs roughly 0.7–0.8 kg.

Care & safety

• Fragrance oil is for scenting the stones only — never apply it to skin or swallow it. Wipe up drips promptly; oil can mark wood and painted surfaces.
• Keep the lamp, stones and oil out of reach of children and pets. Some fragrance oils can be harmful to pets, especially cats — air the room and keep the lamp where pets can’t reach it.
• Add oil to the top stones only and keep the wooden base dry and oil-free.
• Use a standard 5 V USB adapter. Unplug the rechargeable base once it is full, and don’t charge it on bedding or near heat.
• Contains small stones — not a toy.
• To change scents, rinse the stones in warm, soapy water and let them dry completely before refilling.
• Keep it out of strong direct sunlight, which can slowly fade amethyst.

A gift with meaning

The February birthday gift — and a thoughtful one for anyone in a busy season. In modern crystal lore, amethyst is often paired with Pisces and Aquarius.

One of a kind, by nature: every stone is genuine and sorted by hand, so the exact shade, clarity and shape of yours will be its own. Assembled in Donghai, China’s crystal capital. Crystal meanings reflect folklore and tradition — we share them as symbolism, not promises.
