This is an absolutely stunning amethyst from Uruguay that has an intense, beautiful lilac color that you have to hold in your hand to believe. It is very well-cut for excellent brilliance. This is a natural stone mined from the earth; it is not hydrothermal synthetic- guaranteed. You have a full 31 days to return any stone that you buy for a full refund if you are unsatisfied for any reason.

My wife Melanie and I actually hand-select every stone that we offer for sale. We select stones that are brilliant and bright, that have exceptional color, and that are not chipped or fractured. There is enough junk on the market. Even if you are in the market for inexpensive colored gemstones you still want quality and that is what we deliver. If you invest your trust in us we will deliver.
