A clean 9mm round Brazilian amethyst in a cheerful medium-purple hue with the hallmark multi-point sparkle of the checkerboard cut. Small square facets tile the entire crown, each catching light at a slightly different angle and sending it back as a lively, textured shimmer that brings real energy to this piece.
Natural, untreated amethyst from Brazil, weighing 2.55ct. Amethyst is the official birthstone for February and a perennial favorite in jewelry for its versatile purple color, which pairs well with silver, gold, and platinum alike.
Natural amethyst, February birthstone, sold loose.

About amethyst
Amethyst is the purple variety of quartz. At 7 on the Mohs scale with no cleavage, it is a durable stone for everyday wear.
Cleaning
Warm water, a drop of mild dish soap and a soft toothbrush are all you need. Brush behind the stone too, where dust and skin oils collect, then rinse and dry with a soft cloth. An ultrasonic cleaner is usually fine for a clean faceted amethyst, but skip steam: sudden heat can crack quartz or change its color.
Wear and storage
Amethyst is hard enough for everyday wear, and it can scratch softer gemstones stored with it. Harder stones such as topaz, sapphire, ruby and diamond can scratch it, so store it on its own in a gem jar or a soft pouch.
For your jeweler
This amethyst is untreated. Amethyst takes normal setting well, but keep it out of direct torch flame: sudden heat can crack it or change its color.
