Crystal amulet jewelry allows one to hold crystal amulets in order to participate in the ESP network of thoughts while still maintaining a level of fashionable decorum. They can be worn in different locations, and have different themes associated with them.

Behind the Scenes

Crystal amulet holders (their original moniker) were given out as an anniversary gift for fifteen years of Gemstone III. They came in "dark" versions and "light" versions. This referred to the energy given off by the amulet holder when rubbed.
