SOLD Fantasy Cut Ametrine, 14cts+, Excellent Color. 

Sometimes Ametrine doesn't photograph well; this is one of those times.  The color is so much better in person; the purple is nearly edible and the golden color is NOT washed out at all.  Still, I love these fancy cuts because I find mainstream stones so boring.  This one is anything but mainstream and a long way from boring!  The color division is about 60/40 with a nice clean separation; the cutting and faceting is top drawer to go with the spectacular color and clarity of the VVS/IF wonder.  Measuring 16.75x22.65x9.5mm, it weighs in at just over 14.75cts; your new best friend for $90.00. 

SOLD Vintage Amethyst, 5.5ct, 12mm x 10mm Cushion Cut.

This is a stone I bought from a client, still in it's gem jar from when she purchased it some 20 years or more ago.  The cutting is top notch and so is the color and clarity.  Taking the various characteristics into consideration, if I had to hazard a guess as to its origin, I would say Uruguay.  It is possibly Brazilian, but my money's still on Uruguay.  The original price is still on the jar; a price of $120.00 and I am selling it for $75.00. 

8mm x 6mm Pear Cut Madeira Citrine, VVS.

Averaging 1.05cts each, they measure 8mm x 6mm and have the fabulous clarity and the beautiful deep color that you expect when you buy stones from me!  These will be the gorgeous center of attention in your new piece of jewelry, whether you buy one or several.  They are $15.00 each. 

8mm x 6mm Octagon Emerald Cut Deep Golden Citrine.

These are the magnificent color of the old genuine Golden Topaz, before that stone literally disappeared off the face of the earth some 35 years ago, making Citrine the birthstone for November in the place of Golden Topaz.  Being a November baby myself, I am excruciatingly aware of the lack of a widely available stone of the CORRECT color; this is IT.  The color photographed fairly well, but in person the stones are just a bit richer, just a hint more golden/orange than shown above.  They weigh approximately 1.25cts each; not 'sneezers.'  Here's your chance for the perfect color, perfect cut, perfect price at only $15.00 each.

Very Large Half-Moon Amethyst From Uruguay.

What a magnificent stone!  The white specks you see in the first photo are actually lint that I didn't see when I was shooting the pictures.  This is a big one; it measures 25mm x 15mm x 13mm for a total weight of 24.2cts.  Being from Uruguay, it has that enormously appealing, brilliant pink/purple flash that we love so much in the Uruguayan stones.  The cut is extremely unusual and did not photograph well; the face of the stone has only two facets that run the entire length of the stone, while the underneath side of the long curved side has many long, narrow wedge-shaped facets that produce all that sparkle seen from the front.  You will notice in the top far right picture and in the bottom center picture that there is the very slightest flake at the very corner on the viewer's left; it won't be seen when the stone is mounted, and this did get by my supplier, so instead of the stone being priced at $200.00 or more, I received a partial rebate on it so now I can sell it for $75.00. 

SOLD Round Decagon Madeira Citrine, 15.30cts.

Facets and facets and facets!  This is a beautiful fancy Round cut; Decagon, or 10-sided.  It measures 16mm x 16mm x 11mm for a weight of 15.30cts and that extra depth really makes a difference in terms of the extra mirror-like flash and sudden appearances of red tones in this magnificent stone.  IF clarity from Brazil, it is more orange than it appears in the photos, and the saturation of color is quite intense, not somewhat weak as it appears above.  This stone is $70.00.

Deep Yellow-Green Amethyst Pear, Nearly 18cts.

LOTS of bright yellow and bright green flash in this tremendously appealing stone.  IF clarity, it originates in Brazil and measures 21mm x 15mm x 11mm and weighs 17.91cts.  Slightly more olive in appearance, less 'grassy' green than the photos, it is $65.00. 

HOLD Bright Orange Citrine, Dodecagon Fancy Round, Over 24cts.

This one is actually a brilliant Tangerine or Fanta Orange in person; nearly indescribable, but not golden yellow as the pictures would have you believe; it's SO much prettier than those.  It is Dodecagon, or 12-sided Round cut and measures 28.5mm x 28.5mm x 12mm for a weight of 24.30cts of painfully gorgeous Citrine.  It is $80.00. 

HOLD 25ct Green Amethyst, Emerald Octagon.

From Brazil we have this wonderful Yellowish-Green Amethyst.  Displays a lot of green/yellow flash, especially for an Emerald cut.  IF clarity, it's a big one measuring 20mm x 15mm x 11mm and weighing just over 25cts.  It is $75.00. 

SOLD Yellowish Green Amethyst Oval, Over 26cts.

The center picture is closest for color, but still does not capture the intensity of either the color or the sparkle of this one.  IF clarity from Brazil, it measures 22mm x 17mm x 11mm and weighs 26.85cts.  This is the start of a monumental ring!  It is $75.00. 

Madeira Citrine, Emerald Octagon Cut, 30+cts.

Color is MUCH more intense in reality; it is that fabulous Madeira Citrine color that is so prized for it's brilliant flashes of lava-hot orange and red/orange.  This one will truly stun you in person.  It is IF clarity from Brazil and measures 22mm x 18mm x 10mm for a weight of 30.65cts.  Even so, it is only $85.00. 

Pear Cut Purple Amethyst, 19.20cts.

From Uruguay comes some of the most magnificent Purple Amethyst in all the world; this one is no exception.  Measuring 19mm x 16mm x 12mm, it weighs 19.20cts and is IF clarity.  The white specks you see in the pictures are the result of my having used a cleaning cloth that was supposed to be lint-free; evidently the manufacturer's standard for lint free is somewhat lower than my own standard.  I promise you that when you receive the stone, those specks will not be there.  These are not 'stock' pictures; they are pictures taken by me of the actual stone you will receive and the color is not enhanced; this stone really is as beautiful as what you see here.  This one is $70.00.

Trillion Cut Purple Amethyst, Over 20cts.

Mined in Uruguay measuring 18mm x 18mm x 10mm, it weighs 20.30cts and has IF clarity.  The specks are lint, not defects and the colors have not been enhanced; these are pictures taken by me of the actual stone you will receive.  A magical monster, this one is $65.00. 

Concave Round Purple Amethyst, 24.75cts.

Mined in Uruguay, 20mm x 13mm in a fabulous cut referred to as Round Concave, this big beauty is IF clarity.  Pictures are of the actual stone and are not color enhanced.  An absolutely lethal ring could be in the future for you and this stone, don't you think?  It is $85.00. 

Square Octagon Purple Amethyst, 27.45cts.

Uruguay's best export, this fabulous paperweight of a stone measures 19mm x 19mm x 11mm and weighs an astounding 27.45cts and is IF clarity.  Pictures are taken by me of the actual stone and are not color enhanced; white specks are lint, not flaws.  It is yours for $75.00. 

Square Cushion Cut Purple Amethyst, 31.55cts.

Uruguay mines some very large Amethysts; this is a perfect example; it is IF clarity, and the specks you see in my photos are static-attracted lint from the cleaning cloth; those specks will not be there when you receive the stone.  Pictures are not color enhanced and this stone measures 20.50mm x 20.55mm x 11mm for a weight of 31.55cts.  The Cushion cutting provides a lot of sparkle for the pendant or ring of your dreams.  It is $90.00. 

Square Concave Cushion Cut Purple Amethyst, Over 31cts. 

Yes, they just keep getting bigger all the time, don't they?  This one weighs 31.70cts and measures 22mmx 22mm x 13.60mm and is IF clarity; specks present in my photos are from lint and are not inclusions.  This one photographed light for some unknown reason; in reality it is darker and richer purple; I do not enhance my photos.  This remarkable boat anchor of a stone is $75.00. 

Bright Golden Orange Madeira Citrine Pear, 18.85cts.

This is an extraordinarily fiery stone in person; the poor pictures don't even hint at the reality of it.  The cut is what would be termed 'oval brilliant,' I think.  It is the primary orange of orange soda or an orange gumdrop with tiny areas of a nearly-green yellow chasing around inside.  Not quite as large as some of my others at 'only' 21mm x15mm face-up and 12mm depth, it is certainly one of the most beautiful.  IF clarity, it is still only $65.00. 

SOLD Emerald Octagon Cut Madeira Citrine, 13.15cts.

Madeira Citrine is not so often found in an Emerald Octagon cut, so I don't expect this one to last long; it has IF clarity (facial tissue lint is what you see in the pictures) and fabulous color saturation with no zoning; gonna be a wonderful ring!  It measures 18mm x 11mm face-up and 8mm depth.  It is $65.00. 

Deep Orange Madeira Citrine Pear, 26.65cts.

Another big, beautiful monster with IF clarity and exceptionally nice color, this one measures 22.5mm x 18mm face-up and 12mm depth.  The deep orange is accomplished by the war between red, orange/red and golden yellow for a lot of flash from a big-table stone like this.  Don't mind the facial tissue lint seen in the photos; that will be removed before your stone arrives!  It is $85.00.

SOLD Loose Amethyst Triangles, 6 Pieces.

Weighing a total of 3.4cts, these measure 7mm x 7mm each.  They are VVS-IF clarity, and have wonderful sparkle and light return.  I think they would have a marvelous future as an attention-hungry ring or pendant, but they could also be broken up to make pendant, ring, and earrings.  They are untreated in any way, and the package is yours for $35.00.

Amethyst Oval, 7mm x 5mm Uruguay.

This one has IF clarity, meaning Internally Flawless.  It measures 7mm x 5mm and weighs .70ct, and has photographed well for color here.  Nice centerpiece to work from for a delicate 3 stone ring.  It is $22.00.

Madeira Citrine, Octagon Square.

Running just shy of 17cts, this beauty measures 15.2 x 14.8 x 11 mm.  Madeira Citrine is one of the most beautiful of gemstones, with its rich, deep Cognac color laced with red.  The clarity is VVS, bordering on IF, and this would be a marvelous addition to your gemstone collection or jewelry wardrobe.  It is $65.00.

SOLD Antique Trillion Deep Golden Citrine.

8.3cts, measuring 16.5 x 13.6 x 8.1 mm, this beautiful Citrine is VVS clarity from Brazil.  The clipped corners of the Antique Trillion shape make is stand out from the crowd even more than the amazingly rich color.  This begs to be a signature piece of jewelry, and with its perfect size, a ring would be wonderful with this one!  It is $65.00.

Colorless to Deep Yellow Bi-Color Citrine.

Like Ametrine, this is a naturally bi-colored stone, and while it is not huge, it is very impressive.  It weights about 6.25cts, and measures 12.1 x 10 x 6.1 mm.  It is from Brazil, and has outstanding clarity.  The color split is clean and distinctive in this VVS stone.  It is $45.00.

Checkerboard Round Deep Green Amethyst.

Sparkly and glittery in person, this Brazilian Amethyst has been heated to bring up this astonishing color.  Remaining a completely natural stone, it is VS clarity and 4.76cts, measuring 12mm x 9.5mm.  An impressive pendant or a wonderfully ostentatious ring could be its future!  This one is $65.00.

SOLD Fancy Trillion Cut Forest Green Amethyst.

Deeply green with the faintest hint of blue, this is a uniquely cut Pear/Trillion; note the rounded corners at the wide end of the stone.  VVS clarity from Brazil, this heated gem remains a natural stone, and measures 11.3mm x 10.6mm x 6.4mm and weighs 3.14cts.  It is $45.00.

Unusual Vertical Ametrine.

The pictures are not nearly good enough to show you the beauty of this particular Ametrine.  The thing that makes this one unique is that the color split runs with the length of the stone instead of running with the width of the stone, which is the usual way.  This is an especially nice modified Emerald cut measuring 11m x 9mm on the face, and 7mm in depth for a carat weight of 5.40.  It is $55.00.

Scissor Emerald Cut Ametrine.

At 5.35cts, this is a stone to reckon with.  Nice 60/40 split with good color and top notch clarity, it measures 12.1mm x 9.0mm and is 6.35mm deep, so can be placed in a 10x12 mounting with no problems.  It is $55.00.

Excellent Emerald Cut Ametrine.

Okay, jump on this!  Look how clean the split is on this one, and how good the color!  The size is 10.4mm x 7.94mm with a depth of 4.8mm, so it will fit any standard 8x10 mounting.  It is also a good choice to be the focus of one of my smith's imaginative pieces custom built just for you.  It weighs 3.14cts and has excellent VVS clarity.  It is $50.00.

Madeira Orange Citrine, Round Octagon Cut.

The pictures don't lie; the color really is this good!  As you can see, the stone is nearly as deep as it is across; it measures 13mm flat to flat X 13.2mm point to point X 10.9 mm in depth for a weight of 11.35cts.  A very high Tiffany-style ring mounting would be wonderful if you are careful when wearing it, or perhaps you have something else in mind.  From Brazil, it is unheated and has a fabulous IF clarity rating along with its fabulous top orange color.  It is $65.00.

HOLD Impressive Ultra-Simple Pear Cut Amethyst.

Here is the perfect example of the description "less is more."  This stone has only three actual facets that separate the upper and lower tables of the stone.  Each facet runs all the way around the stone, similar to the beveling of glass, leaving nothing but the clarity and color of this wonderful gem in its wake.  Not an exceptionally large stone, it measures 15mm x 10mm with a depth of 4mm and a weight of 3.7cts.  A dramatic stone, it is only $45.00.
