6.20 Ct. Amethyst from Brazil

This transparent 6.20 carat cushion shape purple amethyst from Brazil is an exceptional example of natural quartz, presented by The Natural Gemstone Company. Measuring 12.88 x 10.44 x 7.37 mm, the stone is cut in a mixed brilliant pavilion style that combines the depth and color retention of a cushion outline with the scintillation and fire associated with facet arrangements designed to maximize light performance. The vivid color intensity of this amethyst is immediately striking, offering a saturated, clean purple that reads consistently across the table and crown facets. The excellent polish enhances the visual impact, creating crisp facet junctions and smooth planes that reflect light with clarity and liveliness, while the transparency allows internal light pathways to animate the tone and saturation as the gem moves. For the educated buyer, these attributes mean a stone that not only looks impressive in hand, but also photographs and sets exceptionally well, maintaining strong presence in both daylight and controlled lighting environments.

Clarity and condition are critical considerations for natural gemstones, and this piece has been evaluated as very slightly included, at eye level. That grading indicates that the gem is largely free of obtrusive features when viewed without magnification, with only minor inclusions that do not detract from overall beauty or structural integrity. These small inclusions can actually serve as internal signatures of authenticity, distinguishing natural material from synthetic counterparts which are typically inclusion free or display distinctive factory growth patterns. The absence of any enhancement further increases the desirability for collectors and designers who prefer untreated stones, because natural color and clarity allow the gem to retain its original character and value. From a practical standpoint, minor internal features in an amethyst of this quality generally do not affect durability, given quartz hardness of seven on the Mohs scale, and with appropriate setting and care, this gem is well suited for everyday wear in a ring, as a focal pendant, or in bespoke jewelry designs.

Provenance and origin matter deeply to discerning buyers, and Brazilian amethyst has a long and respected heritage in the gem trade, valued for its typically intense color and large crystal sizes that enable well proportioned cuts in substantial carat weights. Historically, amethyst has been prized across cultures for both its aesthetic and symbolic associations. Ancient Greeks and Romans associated amethyst with sobriety and clarity of mind, while medieval and Renaissance Europe elevated deep purple varieties to royal and ecclesiastical use, adorning crowns and liturgical objects. In many cultures amethyst has been used in amulets for protection, meditation, and to signify rank and spiritual connection. By selecting a Brazilian origin amethyst from The Natural Gemstone Company, you are investing in a gem with geological and cultural heritage, a stone that carries the narrative of long formed crystalline growth, artisanal cutting, and centuries of human appreciation for purple quartz.

For practical buying considerations, this amethyst represents strong value for collectors and designers who seek natural color, consistent saturation, and reliable wearability. The cushion shape and mixed brilliant cut make it flexible for custom design, allowing jewelers to emphasize either color depth or brilliance depending on mounting style, while the dimensions 12.88 x 10.44 x 7.37 mm and carat weight 6.20 provide substantial presence without extreme size that complicates wearable balance. We recommend mounting options that protect the girdle and pavilion, such as bezel or semi bezel settings for everyday wear, or claw settings that allow light to enter the crown for maximum sparkle in statement pieces. Care instructions are straightforward, use warm soapy water and a soft brush for regular cleaning, avoid prolonged exposure to high heat and harsh chemicals, and consider professional inspection if the piece is to be set in ultrasonic cleaners due to the minor natural inclusions.
