0.98 Ct. Cabochon Amethyst from Africa

One beautiful transparent 0.98 carat princess shape purple amethyst awaits the discerning collector, with dimensions of 5.83 by 5.78 by 4.10 mm, a masterfully executed sugar loaf cut, and a clarity grade of very slightly included when evaluated at eye level. The medium intense color intensity bathes the pavilion in a regal violet that shifts gently with every change of light, while the excellent polish allows facets to sing with clean, saturated reflections. This gemstone is completely natural with no enhancement, sourced from Africa, and presented as a singular piece that carries the provenance and integrity serious connoisseurs expect. The combination of a precision princess outline with a sculptural sugar loaf profile creates planes that interplay between depth and surface, giving the stone an architecture that is both modern and timeless, a restrained drama that fits in the most refined settings.

Durability is essential when selecting a gemstone for daily wear, and this amethyst offers reassuring performance for everyday jewelry, with a hardness that resists routine scratching and an internal toughness that accepts practical use. On the Mohs scale it measures seven, making it suitable for rings, bracelets, and pendants when set with thoughtful protection at vulnerable corners. The squared princess silhouette benefits from protective bezel or channel style settings, while claw settings that embrace each corner can also be designed to minimize risk, without sacrificing light performance. The very slightly included clarity grade means that at normal viewing distances the gem appears clean and lively, and the excellent polish reduces surface wear over time, preserving brilliance. With reasonable care, avoiding harsh chemicals, extreme temperature shocks, and heavy impact, this amethyst will remain a vivid and dependable center for daily worn pieces, while showing off its inherent vibrancy.
