10.62 ct Purple Amethyst - Oval

At 10.62 carats, this amethyst from Brazil carries its purple color through an oval cut, measuring 15.2 x 13.4 x 10.7 mm.

Amethyst is the purple quartz, colored by iron and natural irradiation, the most prized member of the most common gem family on earth. Brazil has been one of the most prolific colored-gemstone sources in the world for a century, and still turns up new material on a regular basis. It is entirely untreated; no heat, no enhancement, the color exactly as the earth made it.

No two of these line up the same way on color, cut, and origin at once, which is what makes choosing this one feel deliberate. Hand-selected and filmed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
