4.68 ct Purple Amethyst - Oval

At 4.68 carats, this amethyst from Brazil carries its purple color through an oval cut, measuring 13.7 x 10 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. Its color was brought up by heat, a legitimate and accepted practice that the trade discloses and we disclose here.

A genuine amethyst at a size and price you can actually wear, the real thing rather than a machine-grown copy. Hand-selected and filmed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
