Round Cut Violet Purple Amethyst Gemstone, Brazil.

Round Cut Violet Purple Amethyst Gemstone, Brazil.

Historically, the highest-quality amethysts were found in Russia and were featured in royal European jewellery. While Brazil is now the primary source of this gemstone, fine-quality amethyst can also be found in parts of Zambia, Mexico, Uruguay, Italy, Germany, Canada, Maine, Colorado, North Carolina and Pennsylvania. Cut gems of amethyst are often graded using the terms, Siberian, Uruguayan or Bahrain, representing high, medium and low-grade stones regardless of the actual source. Due to patchiness of the colour distribution in the crystals, amethyst is often cut as brilliant round finished gems to maximize the colour.
