Buy Violet Purple Gemstones at Affordable Prices from GemSelect

The list of violet and purple gemstones is quite short when it comes to natural gems. Amethyst is the most well-known and classic example referenced since ancient times. Amethyst is the transparent purple to violet variety of quartz, and is the official birthstone for the month of February. Besides amethyst, there are wonderful violet hues found within the spinel, tourmaline and sapphire families. Fluorite can be found in extraordinary purple colors. Other purple gems include chalcedony quartz, jadeite and charoite, all of which often occur with a cool lavender color, gem-quality pink spodumene, known as kunzite, is known to exhibit a violet color too.

There are a few other notable violet gemstones, such as tanzanite and iolite; though it is more known for being blue, the name 'iolite' originates from the Greek word for 'violet'. Scapolite and apatite are lesser known, but commonly occur with violet color. The color purple is linked to royalty and in general, is thought to induce peace. Purple gemstones are a magnificent color option for jewelry designs, as the combination of blue and red brings about an aura of both warm and cool tones. Purple is slightly stronger and has a more prevalent reddish hue, but many prefer cooler violet, lavender and lilac hues.

I really enjoy browsing through GemSelect. The selection is always marvelous and I love how detailed everything is described. The only thing I noticed is that when browsing through my phone, the videos of the gems do not load. If there were more videos of the gems, that would be amazing, though I understand that is a lot of work on GemSelect's part! Checking out is also very fast and easy, and I love that the return policy is very good, though I hope I don't have to use it anytime soon.

Fantastic dealer for quality gemstones. Website is easy to navigate, selection is superb, delivery of purchases is prompt. Easy to select incorrect payment options, however.

The website design is a bit finicky for mobile, but Im sure its most likely just a mobile issue. Amazing selection of products, great prices.

I love the clear description of the certification options. It's very rare to see a gem site that offers a deep explanation of each institution that would certify the stone(s).

I did not realize how small the stone was. I cannot use it for the project I wanted, but I am keeping the stone and tru to use it in something else.
