Description

Gemstone: Amethyst - 5.15 Cts.
Skeleton Coast, Namibia
11.27 x 10.07 x 8.14 mm

A distinctive faceting arrangement gives this 5.15-carat Amethyst a bold, structured appearance, with angular faces creating strong directional reflections across the surface. The stone displays a medium purple hue with good saturation, allowing both color and cut to remain clearly visible. An internal "fingerprint" inclusion is present beneath the table, forming a layered pattern that can be seen when viewed closely. Light moves across the facets in broad flashes, emphasizing the geometry of the cut. Overall proportions are balanced, supporting a clean face-up presentation. This Amethyst stands out for its unusual faceting style and noticeable internal character.

Provenance: Ex. Private Fort Worth Collection
