26.38 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Cabochon Amethyst Pair from Brazil

This matched pair from The Natural Gemstone Company consists of two translucent oval amethysts weighing 13.24 carats and 13.14 carats respectively, with dimensions 18.06 x 13.02 x 7.80 mm and 18.08 x 13.25 x 8.17 mm. Both stones are executed as classic cabochons, exhibiting smoothly domed crowns and uniform oval outlines that demonstrate careful preforming and symmetry control during cutting. The cabochon profiles show calculated dome heights relative to table width, which optimizes internal light diffusion and preserves the saturated purple body color. Clarity is graded very slightly included at eye level, which in practice means minor pinpoint and feather inclusions that do not interrupt the overall visual field, and that contribute to the gemstones natural character without compromising durability. The color is described as vivid in intensity, with saturated purple tones that read consistently across both stones when viewed face up, and the surface has been finished to an excellent polish that delivers a bright, glass like luster.

From a craftsmanship and gemological perspective these amethysts have been heat treated to stabilize and enhance the purple hue, a standard and disclosed enhancement for Brazilian material. The cutting technique emphasizes smooth curvature and even thickness, illustrated by the 7.80 mm and 8.17 mm crown depths which provide substantial optical mass for strong color delivery and an appealing soft glow in transmitted light. The matched weights and closely aligned dimensions make this pair well suited for symmetrical jewelry applications, such as earrings or paired ring settings, where matching table size, dome height, and color saturation are critical. For designers and collectors who value technical quality, the stones offer consistent refractive behavior and predictable setting requirements, and the excellent polish reduces the need for secondary surface treatments. The Natural Gemstone Company confirms origin as Brazil, and recommends standard precautions for heat treated quartz, including avoidance of sudden temperature shocks and abrasive chemicals, to preserve polish and color integrity during setting and wear.
