Comments : A variation on the classic emerald cut which sees a step crown and a radiant pavilion. It is a very effective design and shows off the lovely soft colours of Rose de France amethyst.

Treatments : None
Weight : 3.25 carats
Clarity : Eye Clean
Size : 10.3 x 10.3 x 6.5 mm
Price : $340 AUD

Comments : A very smart little amethyst which shows the wonderful rich colours that this material from Uruguay is known for. It is eye clean and has an interesting and well placed zone that is clear of colour. Its not huge or anything, rather it's shaped like a "V" and when the gemstone is pointed downwards it looks like a mask with the zone making the eye slits. I think this zone (or rather the orientation of it) will need to be taken into account when setting it. It doesn't really show up in the pictures unfortunately. A very fine gem.

Comments : If you after after a good large dark amethyst from Uruguay, this is the one for you. This is a nice large stone. It has several small veil inclusions in one corner which are very hard to spot and would mostly likely be hidden by the setting. It is predominately deep blues and purples and violet pink flashes. Overall a very impressive gem.

Comments : A beautifully water clear Rose de France Amethyst. This material is very bright and clean and cuts a stunning gemstone. The design is one of my own and is based on the traditional "princess" cut and has trimmed corners to enable easier setting. This is a good size for a pendant. The colour is quite soft even for Rose de France.
