This stone is a natural Amethyst, with a rich, royal purple color.  It adds that flash of color everyone needs.

The color of these stones are darker than what I normally get, and I don't know when I'll be able to get more of it.  If you like a deep color in your Amethyst, this is it!

The stone measures 16x12 mm, and weighs in the neighborhood of 12 carats.  The mounting is a very pretty, heavy filigree.  It's a good, solid mounting; 4 grams, and very sturdy.
