🧪 Gemological Properties of Amethyst

🎨 What Jewelry Manufacturers Look for in Amethyst

• Color Quality: Deep, rich purple with even saturation is the most desirable. Slight reddish flashes add extra appeal.
• Clarity: Eye-clean stones are preferred for maximum brilliance. Minor inclusions are tolerated in darker materials.
• Cut Precision: Excellent symmetry and polish are critical for Amethyst to show its full luster.
• Consistency: Uniformity in tone and size for easy mass production across rings, earrings, and pendants.

🛒 How to Source the Best Amethysts for Jewelry Production

• Select Origin Wisely: Zambian Amethysts offer richer tones; Brazilian Amethysts offer broader size ranges at competitive prices.
• Prioritize Color Evenness: Avoid stones with color zoning (bands of lighter and darker areas).
• Demand Calibration: Especially for large-scale jewelry manufacturing — precision sizing cuts production costs.
• Check Treatments: Most Amethysts are natural with only standard heating to improve color.

💸 What Influences Amethyst Pricing?

• Color Saturation: Deep, vivid purples command higher prices.
• Clarity Grade: Eye-clean or near-eye-clean stones are highly preferred.
• Size: Larger stones with rich color escalate in price.
• Origin: Uruguayan and Zambian stones are priced higher due to superior saturation.
• Cut and Calibration: Ideal cutting and perfect calibration can boost value significantly for manufacturers.
