10.26 Ct. Amethyst from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One luminous treasure offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, this beautiful transparent purple amethyst weighs 10.26 carats, an arresting presence that balances grand scale with graceful wearability. Its oval form measures 13.66 by 11.79 by 10.22 millimeters, proportions that speak to an old world sense of harmony while the mixed brilliant cut introduces lively modern scintillation. Sourced from Ceylon Sri Lanka, this gem carries a storied provenance, a tropical origin that has long produced amethysts prized for clarity and a distinct purple hue. The color registers as medium intense, a shade that reads as regal without ever feeling heavy, a true violet with lively undertones that change with the light. No enhancement has been applied, allowing the stone to present itself in pure, natural beauty, exactly as it emerged from the earth and was fashioned by expert lapidaries.

The stone has been evaluated at eye level and assigned a clarity description of very very slightly included, an indication of exceptional purity that translates to brilliant transparency and an unimpeded play of light. The mixed brilliant cut multiplies internal reflections, creating depth and a scintillating crown that catches attention whether the gem rests in the sunlight of a garden or the softer glow of an evening ballroom. An excellent polish completes the picture, ensuring each facet sings with clarity and that the table offers a clear portal into the gem s heart. The result is a jewel that feels alive, a balance of fire and depth. For the connoisseur who appreciates both technical merit and tactile beauty, this amethyst is an object of quiet, enduring splendor.

Versatility is among this stone s most compelling virtues. In daytime compositions it lends an air of considered elegance to relaxed silhouettes, combining with linen and silk for a cultivated casual look. In evening compositions it asserts itself as a center of attention, a single stone set in a refined ring or pendant that elevates couture intuition into statement. Imagine a delicate halo of white opal to offset the amethyst s violet, a pairing where the soft iridescence of White Opal offers a luminous contrast that enhances both gems. Consider a modern solitaire in platinum to accentuate cool violet tones, or a warm 18 karat rose gold mount to draw out subtle rosy nuances in the stone. The amethyst s substantial carat weight and generous dimensions also make it ideal for bespoke designs where craftsmanship can be showcased, such as a handcrafted signet style ring, an elegant cocktail ring set during a bespoke consultation, or a pendant that becomes the centerpiece of evening attire.

Owning this amethyst from The Natural Gemstone Company is an assertion of cultivated taste, a private triumph for those who seek distinction without ostentation.
