Amethyst Gemstones

Beautiful and sober purple variant quartz. Amethyst gems are present in myths and symbols.

From the Greek word AMETHYSTOS (not intoxicated), it evokes the color of the wine to which water has been added to limit their negative effects.  Violet amethyst is the "sister gemstone" of yellow citrine. Ametrine is the combination of amethyst and citrine, with its typical color-zone.

AMETHYST COLOR

Amethyst gemstones are the gems most commonly associated with the color purple. The purple color can be bluish or reddish with grade of saturation from grayish / brownish to vivid.

The biggest factor in the value of the Amethyst Gemstones is the COLOR. 

Amethyst Gemstones commonly show color zoning, consisting in angular zones of darker to lighter color. The color of amethyst is  caused by the presence of color centers and iron.

The highest grade amethyst color have a rich velvety slight bluish purple with red and blue flashes commonly called “Siberian Amethyst” or “Deep Siberian Amethyst” (these terms refer to the color, not the origin).

They are also highly valued the amethyst color strong reddish purple without color zoning and without brown hue. 

CUT & SIZES

Amethyst cut stones are available in a wide variety of shapes. Apart of convencional cut, we can find fancy cuts as customer taste.
