18.18 ct Purple Amethyst - Oval

At 18.18 carats, this amethyst from Uruguay carries its purple color through an oval cut, measuring 21.0 x 15.5 x 11.1 mm.

Amethyst is the purple quartz, colored by iron and natural irradiation, the most prized member of the most common gem family on earth. Its color was brought up by heat, a legitimate and accepted practice that the trade discloses and we disclose here.

Its exact combination of color, cut, and origin is its own, the kind of center stone you choose on purpose and build a piece around. Hand-selected and filmed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
