Factors of quality of amethyst
Evaluating the quality of an amethyst involves examining several key aspects:
Color: It is the most determining factor in assessing the quality of an amethyst. The ideal amethyst displays a bright color, ranging from reddish purple to dark purple, without color zoning.
Clarity: Amethysts are generally pure to the naked eye, meaning they do not display visible inclusions. However, some inclusions, such as goethite needles, can enhance the stone's value if they are particularly aesthetic.
Size: A well-cut amethyst will reflect light symmetrically and enhance its color and brilliance, while a poorly cut amethyst may appear dull.
Carat weight: Larger, exceptionally high-quality amethysts are highly valued, although the impact of size on price is less pronounced compared to other gemstones.
