While amethyst is one of the more popular AND COMMON gemstones on the market, sometimes you can still come across one that takes your breath away, unmatched in quality compared to others, making it a top collector's choice. Arizona's Four Peaks Mine has been worked since the early 1900s, most of the material exhibits the atypical amethyst purple color, but some of the finest of this find display a reddish overtone and hue amidst the purple. This gorgeous GEM baguette-shaped beauty displays a stunningly vivid royal purple color with a cranberry red tone in the body, a vividly dazzling display of the finest quality found at four peaks. An old classic that is one of a kind in terms of quality when compared to other faceted amethyst on the market making this a very special collector's jewel. This piece comes from notable gem collector James (Jim) Houran's collection and is noted to be one of the best baguettes Jack Lowell has ever cut (with accompanying letter praising it and confirming origin). A significant USA-origin stone. 16.90 ct, 21.55 x 12.21 x 9.65 mm.
