Natural Sri Lanka Amethyst, Round Cut, 3.5 Carats
A clean, well-saturated 3.5 carat round amethyst from Sri Lanka's gem gravels, cut to catch light evenly from crown to pavilion. The color sits in that classic medium-to-deep purple range amethyst collectors look for — not the washed-out lilac of lower grades, nor the overly dark, almost black-purple of some heat-enhanced material, but a true, even violet with good saturation reading clean across the whole stone.
Loupe clean under 10x magnification, this amethyst has had no treatment of any kind — its color is entirely natural, formed by trace iron within the quartz lattice and, in many Sri Lankan stones, natural irradiation over geological time. Round brilliant cut with symmetrical faceting, it's a versatile size for a solitaire ring, stud earrings, or a pendant, and an honest, well-priced entry point into natural, untreated colored gemstones.
