1.69 Ct. Purple Amethyst from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A rare and luminous treasure awaits the discerning collector, a transparent round purple amethyst weighing a precise 1.69 carats, an uncommon and highly desirable size for this variety of gemstone, offered exclusively through The Natural Gemstone Company. This gem measures 8.06 x 8.14 x 4.83 millimeters, a set of dimensions that speak to careful cutting and thoughtful proportion, and carries a mixed brilliant cut that balances scintillation and depth. Its light color intensity allows the soft, regal purple to read as elegant and wearable, while its clarity has been described as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a clarity profile that reads nearly flawless to the naked eye and that further elevates its collectible status. Originating from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this amethyst is completely untreated, with no enhancements applied, a characteristic that places it in a more exclusive class among gemstones that are often heat treated or otherwise altered. The excellent polish on every facet ensures each interaction with light is crisp and lively, making this stone a consummate expression of natural beauty and expert craftsmanship.

The 1.69 carat weight is central to the gem s value, and it is essential to understand why this specific weight confers rarity and desirability, beyond simple numbers. Amethyst, while appreciated for its color and clarity, becomes markedly rarer and more valuable as size increases without sacrifice to transparency and cut quality. At just under two carats, this particular amethyst sits at a threshold where presence becomes undeniable, and where per carat value typically steps up, because larger, clean, and untreated stones with excellent polish are encountered far less frequently in the market. The mixed brilliant cut employed here was chosen to maximize that amplified presence, translating the 1.69 carat mass into a vibrant play of light across the table and crown, all while retaining depth through the pavilion. The dimensions, eight point zero six by eight point one four by four point eight three millimeters, reveal a pleasing spread that gives this gem a commanding appearance when set, yet retains the grace and balance suitable for fine jewelry. The very very slightly included clarity at eye level assures buyers that inclusions will not detract from the gem s visual impact, while the absence of enhancement preserves its natural provenance, a detail that serious collectors and bespoke designers prize.
