Nestled beneath the ancient layers of the African landscape, this exquisite 1.10 carat heart-shaped amethyst began its journey millions of years ago. Forged deep within the Earth's crust, this gemstone evolved through a remarkable geological process where silica-rich solutions percolated through the cavernous voids of volcanic rock. Over colossal spans of time, the cooling and crystallization of minerals resulted in the formation of the amethyst's stunning purple hue. The transformative powers of heat and pressure played a pivotal role in imbuing it with the characteristics that gemstone connoisseurs admire today. Our jewel, sourced responsibly from the heart of Africa, reflects a spectacular chapter in the Earth's history.

Each cut facet has been honed to catch the eye of any observer, animating the gem with vivid flashes of color under the proper light conditions.
