Plant Badge: Heraldry for common Scots

[Chas]

Chas,

So is the stone choice mostly a matter of personal preference?

I can't speak for others, but it is with me. I am having one of my brooches modified to include a stone that will match a specific tartan.

One good example is the 'Isle of Skye' tartan. There is no associated clan. It was only registered on the 1st of January 1992, so relatively modern. Amethyst stones work the best with this tartan.

Regards

Chas
