Item Description
Amethyst is one of the most recognized gems in the world. Were it not for Amethyst, purple would be the rarest color in the gem world. The actually word "amethyst" comes from the Greek terms "a-methystos" which translates into "not drunken,". In ancient times people would carve wine goblets from Amethyst in the belief that they would maintain their sobriety. A large percentage of gem quality Amethyst comes from Brazil, and this attractive stone is a great example of said material. This is a good sized "Trillion" cut stone with a lovely medium purple color and is only very very slightly included. It's a great bargain for the starting bid, as it was priced at $227.70 retail. If you've been looking for the perfect Amethyst to add to your collection or something that would make for a great piece of jewelry, don't miss out on this lovely gem for a great price.
