Uruguayan amethyst — mined in the Artigas and Salto departments near the Brazilian border — is distinguished from Brazilian and African material by its characteristic deep, darkly saturated colour: a rich, intense purple with a blue-violet depth that approaches the darkest end of the amethyst colour range, producing a jewel-like quality of considerable luxury. This 16.84 ct cushion-cut stone from Uruguay displays exactly this dark, deeply saturated character — a rich violet-purple with outstanding colour depth that intensifies dramatically under incandescent lighting, where the deep blue-violet component deepens to produce a warm, sumptuous purple of remarkable richness. A commanding and luxurious collector’s amethyst. Natural amethyst. Weight: 16.84 ct | Origin: Uruguay | Cut: Cushion | Dimensions: approx. 18.8 × 17.4 mm
