We present a specimen of African Amethyst from Zambia, which is distinguished by its characteristics. This semi-precious stone, weighing 15.50 carats, displays a cabochon pear shape, hand-crafted to highlight its purple hue. Its 20.70x11.70 mm dimensions give it an impressive presence, making it ideal for gemological study or for incorporation into handcrafted jewelry pieces.
Detailed clarity analysis reveals the presence of visible inclusions and fractures, elements that, in the context of gemology, contribute to the stone's history and authenticity. 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 to this amethyst.
Not having been subjected to artificial treatments, this African Amethyst retains a direct connection to its native environment, providing 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.
