12.79 Ct. Amethyst from Bolivia

This 12.79 carat, fancy shape purple amethyst presents precise measurements of 21.10 x 13.30 x 9.30 mm, exhibiting a disciplined step cut that emphasizes planar facet geometry and linear light reflection. The cutter has oriented the table and crown facets to maximize the stone face up color, producing uniform vivid color intensity across the plane and minimizing any perceptible color zoning. Clarity is graded eye clean at standard viewing distance, the eye clean grade confirming absence of eye visible inclusions and enabling the step faceting to operate as a hall of mirrors, with crisp facet junctions and symmetrical alignment. Polish is excellent, the facet surfaces presenting mirror smoothness that enhances both luster and visual transparency. The pavilion geometry has been calibrated to maintain depth and weight retention while avoiding windowing, creating consistent color saturation through the body of the gem. No enhancement has been applied, the material being natural Bolivian amethyst, which contributes to its saturated violet to deep purple tone, and the well proportioned girdle allows secure mounting in both bezel and prong settings without compromising visual performance.

Beyond technical specification, this amethyst carries a romantic provenance that resonates with its vivid purple hue and eye clean clarity. In Bolivian tradition, purple denotes both nobility and quiet devotion, the color reminiscent of twilight over the high plateau where artisanal miners hand select gem rough. The internal clarity, free from distracting inclusions, becomes a metaphor for unclouded intention, a gemstone that reads as a vow held in light. Worn as a solitaire pendant, the elongated step profile evokes a private window into memory, and set as a bespoke ring it will sit as a clear signal of commitment, its polished planes returning controlled flashes of violet under candlelight. The Natural Gemstone Company offers this stone to collectors and designers who value measured craftsmanship and natural provenance, and we welcome inquiries about custom settings, gemological documentation, and secure viewing, ensuring that the technical excellence and romantic narrative of this Bolivian amethyst are preserved for its next custodial chapter.
