Green Amethyst is one of the most interesting stones we carry. I'll be honest with you. It took me awhile to warm up to them, but once I wrapped my head around the idea, I really like them. I mean really -- Amethyst is PURPLE, yes? Well it turns out that are small pockets of light sage green quartz, also known as Prasiolite. There's simply not enough around to be marketable, but someone started monkeying around with regular Amethyst, and managed to turn it into this cool green color.

What's so cool about it is it's neutrality. It won't argue or fight with much of anything you wear. It's a complimentary color, which means it goes with anything. Very pretty.

An Oval Basket setting lets the Green Amethyst do it's thing! The stone weighs a healthy 6 carats, and the silver mounting is what you'd expect to hold such a nice stone. Just look at the pictures at how thick the metal is.

We've also started using a special tarnish resistant sterling alloy that will keep your silver jewelry bought from us shiny for an extra long time. Just another way we ensure your jewelry is the very best available.

This stone is set into a sturdy 4 prong basket. We cast our own mountings and will never use flimsy "snap tight" stuff... It allows the most show of stone for the least expense in silver. It's a good stable setting that doesn't set you back a month just to get one.
