African Amethyst

We present a specimen of African amethyst from Zambia, which is distinguished by its characteristics. This semi-precious stone, weighing 11.10 carats, has a cabochon pear shape, hand-crafted to highlight the depth of its purple hue. Its dimensions of 20.40x12.70x5.70 mm give it an impressive presence, making it ideal for gemological study or integration into handcrafted jewellery pieces.

Detailed clarity analysis reveals the presence of inclusions and visible fractures, elements that, in the context of gemology, help to certify the authenticity of the stone. These characteristics are essential in its evaluation and appreciation as an untreated natural mineral. The mention of a chipped area adds a touch of uniqueness resulting from the processing of the crystal.

Not having been subjected to artificial treatments, this African amethyst maintains a direct connection with its original environment, offering a window into the complexity and beauty of nature. Thus, it is not only a valuable object for mineral collectors but also an educational resource for gemology enthusiasts.
