Amethyst soap gems have one of the most unique looks of any custom soap. They basically look like real Amethyst gems and make for great presents to people. The sheer creativity makes them seem more valuable than they are. It’s advised to get a double boiler which is much easier than using a microwave. This is a melt and pour recipe that means you don’t have to worry about the saponification process. This means you don’t have to work with lye and so forth.

Key Takeaways:

• If you have one, use a double-boiler, as it will make things easier than a microwave.
• Begin by dicing and melting melt-and-pour soap base, then adding essential oil.
• Small pinches of purple mica and silver mica are added to melted soap base.

“While this project can be a tad time consuming, the method is surprisingly easy, and very forgiving!”
