Amethyst 11mm Cushion pair 10.29cts RA(RLA)

Purple – The color of wealth, nobility, creativity, and courage. Historically prized across cultures for its rarity in nature, amethyst's signature purple hue has continually captured the fascination of humans. A variety of the mineral and gemstone quartz, amethyst is arguably the most well-known gemstone across the globe. Possessing a body color that can range from cool, bluish violets to warm, reddish purples, each amethyst's desirability is found within the eye of its beholder. Some gravitate to the feminine, lightly saturated “Rose de France” amethyst, while others seek out the prized, intensely saturated purple hue with flashes of blue and red, dubbed “Deep Siberian” amethyst.

Amethyst can be found across the span of the globe, each source garnering uniquely beautiful selections of the stone. The most prized specimens were historically found in the Ural Mountains of Russia and Siberia, where Catherine the Great sought them out in droves. In modern times, most amethyst is mined from Brazil and Uruguay, where it is grows in large geodes within volcanic rock. Zambia, Madagascar, India, Austria, and Canada are just a few of the other bountiful sources of amethyst.
