Large Amethyst—A Member of the 100 Carats Club
Brazil
Large amethysts are frequently too dark, inky or "extinct" in their appearance due to the depth of the stone. The present very large pear-shaped amethyst has a pleasant, unenhanced violet color that is grape-like but not too deep, making it a fine cabinet piece.
Weighing approximately 360.8 carats and measuring 56.5 x 41.0 x 27.0mm
