Its exquisite checkerboard cut elevates its appearance, offering a captivating visual experience as light dances vividly across its surface. This cut is not only a testament to the skill of the artisans who crafted it but also serves to accentuate the amethyst's naturally vivid color intensity, a characteristic that sets it apart from other stones in its category.

A noteworthy feature of this amethyst is its clarity grade, marked as very slightly included.

They serve to authenticate this gem's natural origin, a precious trait that can often set two seemingly similar gemstones worlds apart in value. The inclusions in this amethyst are minor and only visible under magnification, underscoring its excellent clarity when viewed with the naked eye. This aspect of clarity, combined with the stone's vibrant hues, contributes significantly to its esteemed status in gemstone collection and jewelry making.
