Durability is often a top concern for everyday wear, and this amethyst offers reassuring resilience. Amethyst is a variety of quartz and rates seven on the Mohs hardness scale, which places it well above softer gems such as opal and turquoise, and far above organic gems such as pearl. For comparison, diamond is a ten on the Mohs scale and sapphire is a nine, while topaz is around eight and quartz family gems are seven. A Mohs seven gem is suitable for rings and other jewelry worn frequently, provided reasonable care is taken. We recommend protective settings such as bezel or halo designs to reduce the chance of chips from hard knocks, and routine care with warm soapy water and a soft brush. Avoid prolonged exposure to intense heat or strong chemicals, and remove the piece during heavy manual activity. As an untreated, eye clean, well polished gem from Sri Lanka, this 10.92 carat cushion amethyst is a natural and reliable choice for someone seeking a statement gemstone that combines beauty, origin, and practical wearability.
