14.97 Ct. Amethyst from Brazil

The amethyst has long been celebrated through centuries as a symbol of nobility, wisdom, and timeless beauty, and this example carries that legacy with modern precision. This transparent 14.97 carat, asscher octagon shaped pinkish purple amethyst originates from Brazil, and measures 15.60 by 14.50 by 10.10 mm, offering a substantial presence that feels historic and refined. Its intense color intensity and eye clean clarity at evaluation by eye ensure that the hue reads deep and consistent, while an excellent polish allows each facet to present a pure, glass like surface. This stone has been heat treated to enhance and stabilize its rich tone, a traditional and accepted enhancement that refines the natural color without compromising integrity. Presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, this amethyst is a piece meant to be treasured, an heirloom quality gem that speaks to collectors and connoisseurs who value provenance, craftsmanship, and enduring style.

The asscher cut is central to how this gem communicates light and color, and its geometric heritage lends a classic architectural beauty to the amethyst. The stepped facet structure of the asscher form creates a series of concentric squares that function like a hall of mirrors, directing light inward and back to the observer in layered planes. Because the facets are broad and precise, the cut intensifies the stone s natural saturation and depth, producing a deep, velvety face up color while still revealing flashes of brilliance when the gem moves. The combination of an excellent polish and careful symmetry ensures that light is managed rather than scattered, so that reflections appear controlled and elegant, enhancing the visual weight and perceived clarity. For those who prefer a design that honors tradition, this amethyst adapts beautifully to bold solitaire rings, refined pendants, or a bespoke setting that showcases its step facets. The Natural Gemstone Company invites you to imagine this piece set as a signature heirloom, and we are available to advise on settings that will best preserve and display the asscher cut s interplay of light, color, and form.
