Amethyst 16 x 12mm Oval Cabochon, AAA-Grade

This oval AAA-grade amethyst cabochon features a deep-purple color saturation that complements a variety of metal colors and gemstones. Its eye-catching cut and purple color make it a great choice for simple designs that highlight these qualities. Use it by itself for bold earring or pendant designs, or highlight its color by pairing it with contrasting-color gemstones to create more complex, multicolor designs including necklaces and bracelets. This AAA-grade amethyst gemstone displays a deep saturation of dark purple color ideal for high-end designs. Amethyst is the birthstone for February. Amethyst is the best known and most valuable form of quartz. The light-to-dark purple color of natural amethyst is caused by iron or manganese compound impurities in the mineral and can range from a watercolor pale pink to a dark, almost opaque, purple. A single gemstone will often show color zoning—angular zones of light and dark colors.
