1.07 Ct. Amethyst from Brazil

Deep within the ancient volcanic veins of Brazil, where slow cooling magmas and hydrothermal fluids have whispered through rock for millions of years, this amethyst began its journey. Tiny silica tetrahedra assembled into a steadfast quartz lattice, and trace amounts of iron, caught in the flow of time, absorbed and scattered light until a pinkish purple hue was born. Over ages, pressure and subtle radiation tuned that hue to a vivid intensity that is rare and memorable, a color that reads as both regal and intimate. Miners working in those rich Brazilian deposits have long known how to identify pockets where crystals formed with exceptional clarity, and from one of those generous pockets a transparent crystal was recovered, a crystal destined to be more than a geological curiosity, it was destined to become an heirloom.

From the mine the crystal was entrusted to a cutter who could read light as if it were a language, and here the transformation from rough to refined began. The princess cut was chosen for this stone not by accident, but because its square silhouette and crisp pavilion geometry amplify the innate strength of quartz. A princess cut multiplies facets in a way that dances with the internal symmetry of the amethyst, channels light in a controlled choreography, and returns it with a brilliance that seems to come from within. The structure of this amethyst, part of the quartz family with a refractive index near 1.55, rewards precise angles with intense internal reflections, while superb polish allows those reflections to escape unbroken and unblurred. The very very slightly included clarity, evaluated at eye level, means the stone remains open and luminous, a nearly flawless pane of color that lets the cut do its full work.

This particular gemstone is a transparent 1.07 carat princess shape amethyst, measuring 6.21 x 5.63 x 4.34 millimeters, each dimension a note in its perfect proportion. Its pinkish purple color leans toward the lively end of the spectrum, vivid in intensity, and because there is no enhancement applied, the color is a direct echo of the crystal chemistry and geological history from which it came. The excellent polish renders each facet like a miniature window, and the princess cut translates the stone s internal lattice into a cascade of flashes and flashes that alternate between broad, velvety color and bright scintillation. When light enters the crown, it encounters a geometry that encourages multiple internal reflections, then releases the light through the table and crown facets with surprising fire for a quartz gem, a brilliance that feels unusually concentrated because of the combination of size, clarity, and cut precision.
