A fine Amethyst from one of our favorite localities. Georgia stones have both a crisp, fine color and that peculiar and attractive 'blue flash' that is unique to their locality. It is a subtle but distinct effect and clearly visible - not something made up in order to market these gems. This gem is one of the best we have offered in recent memory; the color is often a bit too light and so saturation can sometimes suffer - not at all the case here as the gem has the absolute top color for these. Completely clean and precision cut 5 carat gems have always carried a premium so, while not inexpensive, this one is well worth it. Additionally, these are all natural gems - in contrast with many Amethysts in the market they are not heated.
