The generous 17-carat size gives this natural amethyst an immediate sense of presence, but the checkerboard cushion cut is what makes it especially captivating. The geometric faceting creates broad flashes of light across the purple quartz, giving the stone a more sculptural character than a conventional faceted amethyst.

This natural amethyst weighs approximately 17.00 carats and measures 14 × 16mm. It is cushion cut with checkerboard faceting and is offered as a single loose gemstone. Amethyst is the purple variety of quartz and has been used as a gemstone since antiquity; larger stones are particularly well suited to statement jewelry and carving.

Selected by Elementls for its impressive scale, distinctive checkerboard faceting, and the dramatic presence of a substantial natural amethyst.
