"I usually buy the dark African amy's but my son bought me a ring for Cristmas, and I wanted a pendant to match. When I saw this stone I was thrilled, because you really don't see them that often.It is the perfect color and is beautifully cut and the clarity is excellent."

"My husband collects gems, so this was one to add to the collection. The internet picture of this gemstone is close, but you will not believe how absolutely beautiful it is until you see it in person. The checkerboard cut is so precise and even, and you can see light refracted all the way through. Being a Brazilian amethyst, it has a lighter shade of purple than many other amethysts. Whenever I walk past my husband's collection of gems, I have to pick up this gem and look at it because it is mesmorizing! Also it would make a stunning pendant . . . well maybe I'll talk him into that! Great value, too!"
