8.70 Carat Natural Amethyst VVS AA Good Oval Checkerboard Cut from Brazil
- Description
This impressive 8.70 carat natural Amethyst displays an attractive Medium Purple colour through a broad oval outline. Its distinctive checkerboard crown creates a mosaic of geometric reflections, while its substantial dimensions provide noticeable visual presence.
Assessed as VVS clarity and AA quality, the gemstone offers an exceptionally clean interior, balanced proportions and lively reflections around its crown and perimeter. Minor central windowing and slight extinction are the principal deductions. No chip, feather, fracture or significant abrasion was reported or confirmed, making it suitable for a statement pendant, brooch or bespoke ring.

KINGFISHER RECOMMENDATION
This AA Amethyst is a great option for someone seeking substantial size, VVS clarity and an unusual oval checkerboard presentation. Most of the broad pale areas visible through movement are changing crown reflections rather than extensive windowing, leaving only a smaller minor central opening. Its balanced outline, clean condition and lively mosaic-like flashes make it well suited to a statement pendant, brooch or securely set bespoke ring.
