7.14 Ct. Purple Amethyst from Brazil

This 7.14 carat transparent purple amethyst is presented in a fancy shape with exact dimensions of 12.54 by 12.54 by 9.16 millimeters, a notable face up presence that balances significant weight with elegant proportions, making it a rare find at this scale and quality. The cutter employed a mixed brilliant faceting scheme, combining a brilliant style crown with step influenced pavilion facets, to achieve a dual objective of intense color saturation and lively light return. The mixed brilliant approach preserves the vivid purple tone by minimizing windowing while allowing faceted brilliance and scintillation across the table and crown facets. The measured depth of 9.16 millimeters yields a depth ratio of approximately 73 percent relative to the girdle diameter, a deliberate proportion that deepens the perceived hue and concentrates color toward the table, without sacrificing balanced light performance. Facet junctions display precise alignment, the girdle is well controlled for setting compatibility, and the symmetry is executed to industry standards for mixed cuts, all of which contribute to predictable and repeatable performance in a variety of mounting styles.

Color evaluation places this specimen in the intense category, a designation that reflects strong saturation combined with an even distribution of purple across the entire crystal, with subtle secondary undertones toward the red violet range that enrich its visual depth. Clarity has been graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, indicating that inclusions are minor and do not compromise transparency or brilliance to the unaided eye. Under loupe inspection the inclusions are consistent with natural Brazilian material and present as fine, well healed internal features that do not fracture the light path significantly. The gem has undergone standard heat treatment to stabilize and enhance its color, a common and permanent enhancement for amethyst that increases market desirability without affecting structural integrity. The polish is excellent, resulting in crisp facet planes and strong facet reflections, while the overall craftsmanship demonstrates attention to crown height and pavilion geometry, tuned to maximize both contrast and return of light to the observer.

Provenance from Brazil adds both geological pedigree and market confidence, as Brazilian amethyst sources are known for producing large crystals with saturated color and good clarity, suitable for precision cutting. From an investment and collectible standpoint this piece offers multiple assets, including size at 7.14 carats, intense color grade, superior polish, and a high quality mixed brilliant execution that enhances both brilliance and color retention. The material hardness is consistent with quartz family standards, providing durability for everyday jewelry wear while maintaining resistance to chemical and environmental factors when properly set.
