6.71 Ct. Amethyst from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This oval shape amethyst weighs 6.71 carat, and measures 14.80 by 10.77 by 7.50 mm, presenting a substantial presence for a single center stone. The gem is transparent, fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut that balances a faceted crown with a precision pavilion to optimize brilliance and fire. The clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which indicates only minor natural characteristics that do not detract from overall visual appeal. Color characteristics are described as pinkish purple with intense color intensity, and the stone displays an excellent polish. There has been no enhancement to alter color or clarity, and the material is of natural origin from Ceylon Sri Lanka. The Natural Gemstone Company offers this specimen with full disclosure of these parameters, supporting informed selection for bespoke or ready made jewelry applications.

The gemstone’s pinkish purple hue is notable for its vivid saturation and even distribution across the table and crown facets, and this intense coloration is the primary attribute that will cause the stone to stand out in any jewelry setting. Under direct light the tone reads as a rich, lively purple with pink undertones that add warmth, and in softer illumination the color deepens to a more regal violet, providing an appealing range of appearance in differing environments. The mixed brilliant cutting style enhances color return, enabling deeper facets to concentrate and reflect the internal color so that the stone has both depth and face up brightness. In practical terms this means the gem commands attention when mounted, whether set as a solitaire in a ring, as the central element of a pendant, or as the focal point in a statement pair of earrings, because the color acts as the defining visual cue for observers.

Cut and clarity work together to produce measurable optical performance, and this amethyst demonstrates how appropriate proportions and high quality finishing translate to superior light behavior. The mixed brilliant cut employs a faceting layout that increases scintillation while retaining large, even facets that emphasize color, producing balanced flashes of light rather than a single overpowering sparkle. The 7.50 mm depth gives the stone adequate pavilion to create internal reflection, supporting lively movement without sacrificing the face up surface area provided by the 14.80 by 10.77 mm oval outline. Very slightly included clarity at eye level indicates that inclusions are minimal and ordinarily not visible to the naked eye, which preserves a clean appearance when the gem is viewed in typical wearable contexts. The excellent polish enhances facet junction integrity and edge definition, promoting unhindered light return and ensuring the surface reflects sharply when inspected or photographed.

From a design and care perspective this amethyst is highly versatile, and its natural unenhanced origin from Ceylon Sri Lanka will appeal to clients seeking provenance and authenticity. For settings that maximize the stone s presence consider open style prong or bezel variations that allow light to enter the pavilion and emphasize color depth, while protective bezels or partial bezels can be used for everyday wear to shield the girdle and edges. The stone complements warm metal tones such as yellow gold and rose gold, which accentuate the pink undertones, and it also pairs effectively with white metals such as white gold and platinum for a cooler, more contemporary contrast. For paired gemstone designs consider accenting with colorless diamonds to increase perceived brightness, or with soft pastel sapphires for a tonal ensemble. Routine care consists of gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush, and avoidance of harsh chemicals and extreme heat to preserve the natural color and clarity. The Natural Gemstone Company maintains a commitment to transparent description and responsible sourcing for this gem, making it suitable for clients and designers who place a premium on documented origin, natural state, and meticulous cutting and finishing.
