1.07 Ct. Amethyst from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

When considering the purchase of a gemstone, one seeks not just the aesthetic beauty but also the characteristic features that set it apart from the commodified array of stones available in the market. At The Natural Gemstone Company, we are delighted to present a truly remarkable offering that exemplifies exceptionality through its unique inclusions and rich heritage—a beautiful transparent 1.07 carat oval-shaped purple amethyst from the illustrious mines of Ceylon in Sri Lanka.

This particular amethyst is distinguished by its dimensions of 8.06 x 6.07 x 3.89 mm and a mixed brilliant cut, ensuring that it sparkles with an entrancing brilliance under any light. While many amethysts on the market display a uniformity that can often be mistaken for synthetic counterparts, this exquisite specimen displays a clarity grade of very slightly included when evaluated at eye level. The slight inclusions do not detract but rather contribute greatly to the character and identity of the gemstone, offering a natural fingerprint that ensures authenticity and enhances its mysterious allure.

Unlike lower quality amethysts that may brim with inconsistency in their color gradients, this gem from The Natural Gemstone Company boasts medium intense color intensity—a rare junction where purple hues merge seamlessly into tones of lilac and lavender. This spectrum of color engenders a depth rarely seen, lending an ageless elegance that competes and often surpasses stones with much higher carat weight. Furthermore, its origin in Ceylon, a place beloved for yielding some of the world's finest gemstones, adds a touch of geographical prestige. Ceylonese gems are renowned for their durability and unrivaled color saturation, and this amethyst is a testament to those esteemed characteristics.

Polish, an essential feature of a gemstone, holds significant weight when assessing overall beauty and appeal. This particular amethyst has been given an excellent polish, resulting in a glass-like surface that enhances its visual attractiveness. When juxtaposed with stones that haven’t undergone such careful attention to surface refinement, the difference is vastly apparent; this gemstone exhibits a radiant sheen that maximizes light reflection and offers a vividness seldom achieved in comparable pieces. Whether set in a ring, necklace, or surrounded by complementary stones, its illuminated visage will remain the centerpiece of admiration and intrigue.

The Natural Gemstone Company takes pride not only in offering gemstones of high quality but also in curating pieces that have a story encapsulated in their contours and colors. The journey from Sri Lanka, coupled with the geological formation that endowed this amethyst with its unique inclusions and breathtaking hue, culminates in a piece that speaks to the beholder. In choosing this amethyst, one selects not only a gemstone but a legacy—a tangible connection to the earth's natural ebb and flow, to the artisan's careful crafting, and above all, to a symbol of timelessness that speaks louder than any fabricated or lab-grown imitation. Allow this quintessential amethyst to elevate your collection with its unmistakable signature, reflecting your refined taste and penchant for unparalleled beauty.
