Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: What determines amethyst quality and value?

A: Amethyst quality is determined by color intensity, clarity, cut quality, and origin. Deep, evenly distributed purple color with minimal inclusions commands the highest prices. Uruguayan and Siberian amethyst are typically most valuable.

Q: How can I tell if my amethyst is natural or synthetic?

A: Natural amethyst often shows color zoning, natural inclusions, and varying color intensity. Synthetic amethyst typically has uniform color and may show curved growth lines. Professional gemological testing provides definitive identification.

Q: Does amethyst fade in sunlight?

A: Yes, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause amethyst to fade. Store your amethyst jewelry away from direct sunlight and avoid leaving it in sunny locations for extended periods.

Q: What's the difference between light and dark amethyst pricing?

A: Darker, more saturated purple amethyst generally commands higher prices than lighter lavender varieties. Deep purple stones from Uruguay and Russia are most valuable, while lighter Brazilian material is more affordable.

Q: Can amethyst be heat treated?

A: Yes, some amethyst is heat treated to improve color or create citrine. Heat treatment is permanent and widely accepted in the gem trade. We clearly disclose any treatments on our specimens.
