Amethyst Briolette

Item Description

Amethyst from Brazil is some of the most well-known and attractive examples of this purple variety of Quartz on the planet. Here we have a beautiful briolette bead with a wonderful purple color with superb clarity. The faceting creates a unique "twisted" shape, with light sparkling on all sides. Briolettes are the kind of stones that I think make a great novelty for a collector, or would certainly make a very attractive piece of jewelry for somebody with a February birthday as Amethyst is the birthstone for that month. Please note that there is a drill hole at the top of the stone - which is typical for briolettes - where you could attach the stone on a thin chain or a bail.
