Purple Amethyst 1.56 CT | Marquise Cut, Brazil
A refined violet saturates this 1.56 carat amethyst. The marquise cut is precise with an even outline, a bright open table, and clean meet points that return consistent reflections along the length of the stone. Color is uniform from tip to tip with lilac highlights at the points and a slightly deeper purple through the center. Transparency is high and the polish yields a crisp vitreous luster. Clarity is exceptional and appears flawless to the unaided eye, so the face reads clear and lively in both daylight and indoor light.
Brazil is the classic source of fine amethyst, where quartz crystals develop inside basalt geodes in states such as 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 promotes clarity and stable tone. The region is known for material that takes a sharp polish and holds a clean violet without gray. A well made marquise around one and a half carats with such high clarity is a choice example 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.
