2.22 Ct. Amethyst from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The natural allure of gemstones lies in their unique formation and history, a stark contrast to the predictability of lab-grown stones. A natural 2.22 carat trillion-shaped purple amethyst from The Natural Gemstone Company exemplifies this magnificence. With precise dimensions of 9.01 x 9.19 x 5.56 mm, this gemstone showcases the artisanship only achieved through millions of years of natural processes. Its trillion cut, a sophisticated triangular shape, is meticulously crafted to accentuate the stone's inherent beauty and brilliance. The trillion cut also enhances the way light interacts with the amethyst, creating an unparalleled sparkle that lab-grown counterparts can find challenging to match.

This amethyst possesses a clarity grade of very slightly included, meaning any inclusions are minute and are evaluated only at eye level. Such clarity ensures that the gemstone mesmerizes with its internal world, presenting depths that capture interest each time it is observed. The clarity is further amplified by an excellent polish, which means the surface has been finished meticulously to present a mirror-like sheen. This high standard of polishing results in light reflecting superbly off its facets, adding an extra layer of allure with every reflection and refraction.

When considering the color intensity of an amethyst, it’s crucial to underscore the medium color intensity of this particular stone. This level of intensity is indicative of a balanced saturation that is neither overly vivid nor dull. The medium color intensity renders a rich purple hue that is both striking and elegant, offering the depth of tone that captures and holds the gaze of knowledgeable gemstone admirers. In lab-grown stones, achieving such a perfect balance can often lead to over-saturation or blanching, compromising the authenticity and appeal that natural stones comfortably wield.

The origin of this exquisite amethyst is Ceylon, or modern-day Sri Lanka, a location renowned for producing some of the world's most admired gemstones. From sapphire to topaz, Ceylon's heritage in gemstone quality is unparalleled. Our amethyst, thus, is a part of this storied lineage and carries with it the geographical pedigree that enhances its desirability. In lab settings, though advancements have been made, replicating not just the look, but the rich historical and cultural significance encapsulated in a natural stone's origin remains elusive.

At The Natural Gemstone Company, we pride ourselves on exemplifying the highest standards of jewelry craftsmanship and care. Each gemstone is carefully selected for its unique features and qualities, ensuring that it meets the expectations of discerning clients who value not just beauty, but also the narrative intrinsic in nature-formed stones. In choosing this 2.22 carat purple amethyst, buyers align themselves with a standard and legacy of excellence, distinctly separated from the uniformity found in lab-grown equivalents. The beauty of natural gemstones is an intersection of art and nature, where history, geology, and craftsmanship converge into singular pieces of wonder.
