Gemstone: "Rose de France" Amethyst - 451.10 Cts.
Brazil

This massive 451.10-carat "Rose de France" Amethyst is a substantial and well-executed example of the pale violet variety of Quartz, sourced from Brazil, a leading origin for finer Amethyst material. Beautifully fashioned into a symmetrical oval shape, the stone displays a well-balanced violetish purple bodycolor, characteristic of the Rose de France designation. The faceting style is bold and precise with sharp, brilliant facets, designed to optimize light reflection and visual depth. Owing to the exceptional size of the stone, some windowing is present; however, the gem retains excellent brilliance and intense scintillation. The stone features eye-clean clarity, excellent brilliance, and intense scintillation while maintaining a pristine condition. This gem is well-suited as a centerpiece in a curated gem collection, with the combination of size, clarity, and refined cutting reflecting high-quality craftsmanship and gem-grade material.
Measurements: 63.71 x 48.59 x 29.84 mm, 451.10 cts.

Estimate: $500 - up.
