Purple Amethyst 1.23 CT | Marquise Cut, Brazil
A calm violet saturates this 1.23 carat amethyst. The marquise cut is balanced with a bright table and clean facet junctions that return even reflections along the length of the stone. Color is stable from tip to tip with lilac highlights near the points and medium purple through the center. Transparency is high and the polish gives a crisp vitreous luster, so the face reads clear and lively in daylight and indoor light.
Brazil is the historic heartland of amethyst, with crystals forming inside basalt geodes in Rio Grande do Sul and Minas Gerais. Trace iron within the quartz and natural radiation in the host rock create the purple color, while slow cooling inside the geodes supports clarity and an even tone. The region is known for material that takes a precise polish and holds a pleasing violet without a gray cast. A clean marquise around one carat is a classic representation of Brazilian amethyst.
Fully certified for authenticity and quality, comes with a sensory experience that you won't forget. Don't miss your chance to own this stunning piece of earth wonder.
