8.70 Ct. Amethyst from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exceptional transparent purple amethyst, weighing 8.70 carats and precisely measured at 14.72 by 12.00 by 8.34 mm, is a study in refined restraint and vivid presence. Cut into an elegant oval with a mixed brilliant faceting scheme, it captures light with cinematic depth while maintaining a timeless silhouette that flatters every setting. Graded as very very slightly included at eye level, its clarity is virtually uncompromised, allowing the intense purple hue to sing freely from every angle. The polish is excellent, the finish immaculate, and with no enhancement reported, this Ceylon Sri Lanka origin amethyst embodies pure, natural luxury. Exclusively curated by The Natural Gemstone Company, it is an acquisition that announces discerning taste, a singular piece meant to accompany a life lived with intention.

Beyond its captivating beauty, this amethyst is a gemstone designed for real life, ready to be worn and admired every day. As a variety of quartz, it enjoys a Mohs hardness of seven, which provides robust resistance to scratches and everyday abrasion, making it well suited to rings, pendants, and everyday earrings. The mixed brilliant cut not only maximizes fire and brilliance, it also contributes to structural integrity by distributing stress across thoughtfully placed facets and a balanced pavilion. With its substantial 8.70 carat presence, the stone balances elegance and durability, and when set with secure, expert craftsmanship it becomes a reliable heirloom for daily wear. For longevity, we advise sensible care, using warm soapy water and a soft brush for cleaning, avoiding harsh chemical exposures and severe impacts, and choosing settings that protect the girdle and culet. Paired with attentive maintenance, this Sri Lankan amethyst will retain its lively color and polished luster for generations. Owning this gem from The Natural Gemstone Company is not only an aesthetic triumph, it is a statement of cultivated taste and enduring refinement.
