Natural amethyst with CGRL report.
- 3.02 carats, vivid purple
- Octagon/emerald, brilliant/step cut
- 9.15 x 7.13 x 6.36 mm
- CGRL Report GS26091800108
Rich, even purple — a strong classic amethyst color shown off well by the step-cut facets.
9 x 7 mm is a standard calibrated size, so it drops straight into an off-the-shelf mounting. Quartz is a 7 on the Mohs scale.
February birthstone. Loose and unset.
A note on the photos: the main images and video were shot under daylight-balanced lighting (~5000K). The size-reference photo with the penny was taken under indoor fluorescent light, which reads warmer and darker. Colored stones genuinely change appearance under different light — that variation is the stone, not editing. Nothing here is color-corrected or enhanced.
