10.80 ct Purple Amethyst - Oval

This 10.8-carat amethyst is cut as an oval measuring 15 x 12.8 x 9.7 mm, with a purple body color, sourced from Brazil.

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 heat-treated, a common and honest preparation across the colored-stone trade, disclosed on every listing.

This is a center-stone-grade gemstone with a character of its own, chosen rather than settled for. Caveman Gems hand-selects every gemstone and photographs it in good light, to give you the truest look a screen can.
