6.07 Ct. Purple Amethyst from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent oval amethyst weighs 6.07 carats, and measures 13.36 by 10.97 by 7.47 millimeters. It is faceted with a mixed brilliant cut, presenting a balanced arrangement of step and brilliant facets that maximize light return and scintillation. The gem is eye clean at standard viewing distance, showing no visible inclusions to the naked eye, and it displays an intense, saturated purple hue with even tone distribution across the table and pavilion. The polish is excellent, producing crisp facet junctions and a smooth reflective surface, and no enhancement has been applied, preserving the natural color and structural integrity from its origin in Ceylon, Sri Lanka. The rich purple color stands out immediately, offering depth and vibrancy that capture attention in both daylight and artificial illumination.

In a jewelry setting this amethyst will read as a vivid focal point, its intense color contrasting elegantly against both warm and cool metal tones. Set in yellow gold the purple will appear warmer and more regal, while white gold or platinum will emphasize the stone and highlight cooler undertones and increase perceived brightness. The oval outline and mixed brilliant faceting make this gem well suited to solitaire rings, halo compositions, three stone rings, pendants, and statement earrings, where the balanced proportions allow secure bezel or prong settings without compromising light performance. At 6.07 carats the stone delivers substantial presence on a finger or pendant, yet its eye clean clarity maintains a clear window to the color, avoiding the haziness that can mute vibrancy. For designers and clients seeking a natural, untreated center stone from a respected source, The Natural Gemstone Company offers this Ceylon amethyst as an example of fine material, ready to be set into a piece where its vivid purple will remain the defining visual element. Routine cleaning with mild soap and a soft brush will maintain brilliance, and careful design consideration for protective settings will preserve the excellent polish and facet integrity over time.
