The quality and value of any stone is evaluated on certain parameters.
From the ice blasted corners of Siberia to the sultry rainforests of Brazil, Amethyst can be found across the globe. Out of all the Amethyst mined worldwide, Brazilian Amethyst is best due to its rich color and high transparency.
Amethyst actually occurs in many purple colors. Its purple color can range from a light lavender to a pale violet to a deep purple. It may exhibit one or both secondary hues, red and blue. Bright deep purple with a slight red tone is considered the best among all color tones of Amethyst. Amethyst also commonly shows color zoning. This influences the marketability and value of the stone. Most people want a gem with a rich and uniform color.
Amethyst is a transparent stone that is largely free of visible inclusions. Although when present, they may appear like reddish brown needles or angular color banding and can reduce the overall worth of the stone.
A finely cut Amethyst looks more bright, color illuminated and can cleverly conceal the inclusions. Faceted stones are more expensive than cabochons because of the wastage and time incurred in the process.
