16.51 Carat Natural Amethyst SI1 A Good Emerald / Octagonal Cut from Brazil
- Description
This substantial 16.51 carat natural Amethyst displays an attractive Medium Purple colour with subtle pink-to-red flashes through movement. Its broad rectangular Emerald / Octagonal outline, clipped corners and orderly step facets create an impressive gemstone with strong visual presence.
Assessed as SI1 clarity and A quality, the gemstone retains good transparency and attractive flashes around its outer facets. Moderate central windowing, several feathers around 6 o’clock and several small pavilion chips are the principal deductions. A pendant, brooch or carefully protected occasional-wear dress ring would make the most appropriate use of its size and distinctive geometric presentation.

- The feathers appear close to the lower pavilion surface and require cautious handling during setting.

- Direct setting pressure should be kept away from the feathers and chipped pavilion areas.

KINGFISHER RECOMMENDATION
This A-quality Amethyst offers good buying value for someone prioritising substantial size, Medium Purple colour and an attractive geometric step-cut presentation. Its orderly facets and broad dimensions provide considerable jewellery presence, although the moderate windowing, feathers around 6 o’clock and several small pavilion chips prevent a higher quality assessment. A pendant or brooch would provide the safest application, while any ring design should use a secure protective setting and avoid pressure on the affected pavilion sections.
