About Amethyst Cabochons

Amethyst is macrocrystalline quartz in colors ranging from green to pale lilac and deep reddish purple. Rose de France amethyst is a popular trade name for a very light-violet colored amethyst, while a deeper fine rich purple color variety of amethyst is often referred to as Siberian amethyst. Usually a specific locality is often associated with such trade names because of a reputation earned for producing the best of quality (Pariaba Tourmaline, Kashmir sapphire, Pailin Saphire and etc), but in the case of Siberian Amethyst and Rose de France Amethyst, this is not the case as most of the finest quality amethyst available today is sourced from Brazil, as well as Ceylon (Sri Lanka).

Amethyst can be transparent to translucent and many different shapes and sizes, either faceted or cut en cabochon. Value per carat in amethyst, unlike many gems, doesn't rise exponentially with weight as it is readily available in large sizes; but depends almost entirely on color. The "Siberian" deep purple with red and blue flashes commands the highest prices. Green amethyst, new to the market, is produced by heat treatment. Purple amethyst cabochons are great for statement jewelry pieces, such as large pendants and rings because they are available in large sizes. Amethyst is the February birthstone and the birthstone for those born under the sign of Pisces. Amethyst is believed to be a stone of sobriety.

Nice selection of different types of gemstones and it’s nice to be able to filter your options to get close to what you are looking for. Plus each gem is photographed so you see the actual look of the specific gems you are considering

The Ruby Zoisite bird is beautiful and will delight my sister, I hope, for her birthday in July. I, personally love the stone which is within her ruby birthday stone, and the bird appears beautifully carved.

Gemstones are accurately portrayed and comes with a gemologist confirmation of authenticity (not appraisal) but still helps when I set in my settings to make and sell rings.

I would recommend gem select. They care about all details from description to quality to packaging to shipping. I specialize in turquoise so I would like more explicit provenance than "American"... Couldn't they give me mine or at least state? Never the less very classy. Also, their turquoise cabochons are very thick for good and bad. I cut many in half to make them more versatile and commercially useful. If one can't do that then you are going to have to settle for wire wrapped jewelry. I think that overall thy are a great resource.
