A medium violet-purple round amethyst with visible natural character within the stone, giving it an authentic, one-of-a-kind quality. At 8.9mm the stone has good face-up coverage, and the checkerboard cut across the crown creates the signature grid of sparkling square reflections. The natural inclusions add individuality and tell the story of this stone's genuine, untreated origin.
Natural, untreated Brazilian amethyst weighing 2.56ct. Amethyst has been valued for centuries for its rich purple color, and as February's birthstone it carries deep traditional meaning. A solid choice for a distinctive, one-of-a-kind ring, pendant, or earring design.
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.
