9.37 Ct. Purple Amethyst from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This remarkable, one of a kind transparent 9.37 carat oval purple amethyst from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, is a rare treasure for the collector who demands distinction. Measuring 15.55 by 11.77 by 9.53 millimeters and expertly fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut, this gem captures light with lively scintillation and deep, saturated purple hues described as intense color intensity. Evaluated at eye level as very very slightly included, the clarity presents as exceptionally clean, while an excellent polish reveals pristine facet edges and a mirror like surface. No enhancement has been applied, so you receive an untouched natural specimen whose origin and untreated condition make it a superior choice for those seeking authenticity and geological provenance. This amethyst is a singular offering, ideally positioned to become the focal point of a bespoke ring, pendant, or exclusive commission, and owning it places you among an elite group who appreciate genuine, museum quality gemstones.

Beyond its visual allure, this Ceylon amethyst offers reliable durability for wearable jewelry, scoring a 7 on the Mohs hardness scale. To put that into perspective, it is harder than common organic gems such as pearls and amber, and comparable to many popular quartz variety jewels, yet it is softer than sapphire at 9 and far softer than diamond at 10. This makes the stone resilient to everyday wear when set thoughtfully, especially within protective bezel or four prong settings to minimize edge contact and accidental knocks. Its mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish also help resist showing surface wear, while routine gentle cleaning and avoiding harsh heat or ultrasonic shocks will preserve its intense purple and high luster. At The Natural Gemstone Company we curate pieces like this sparingly, and this particular amethyst represents a limited opportunity to own a pristine, untreated Ceylon gem with exceptional presence. For collectors and connoisseurs seeking exclusivity and enduring beauty, this amethyst is a rare and compelling selection, and we invite you to contact us to discuss custom settings or next steps in making this extraordinary gemstone yours.
