All About Amethyst Gemstones

Amethyst is one of the most sought-after varieties of quartz, prized for its vivid purple color, exceptional durability, and spiritual symbolism. At Moriarty's Gem Art , our amethyst gemstones are expertly cut and sourced from some of the world’s finest locations, making them ideal for collectors, jewelers, and anyone seeking a gemstone with timeless appeal.

The Color of Amethyst: A Spectrum of Purple

Amethyst is best known for its signature purple hue, but the stone can range from delicate lilac and soft lavender to intense royal violet and deep plum. The most valuable amethysts feature rich saturation and minimal color zoning, often described as "Siberian quality" for their deep purple tones with flashes of red or blue. Whether you prefer pastel shades or more vibrant tones, our collection includes a wide range of natural amethyst colors to suit your design preferences.

Origins: Where Amethyst is Found

Amethyst can be found in various locations around the world, but some sources are especially prized for producing high-quality stones:

Brazil – The largest producer of amethyst, known for its vibrant, large crystals.
Uruguay – Famous for darker, more saturated purple stones with excellent clarity.
Zambia – Known for its deep, bluish-purple tones and exceptional brilliance.
Russia (Siberia) – Historic source of the finest quality amethyst, now quite rare.

At MoreGems, we source our amethyst from trusted ethical suppliers to ensure each stone meets our standards for beauty and responsibility.
