 Facts about Amethyst:

Different tones of Amethyst have different prefixes: “Siberian Amethyst” refers to darker color of Amethyst regardless of whether they are from Siberia or not, normally having a tone of 75-80%; and Amethyst with a more pinkish tone (20-30%) is named “Rose De France“. Amethyst is a hard and durable gemstone measuring 7 on the Mohs scale. In its rough state, the gem often forms in long prismatic crystals, making it ideal for cutting. Because its color can often appear banded, it is usually cut into round brilliant shapes which help the gem display a more uniformed color when viewed through the table or crown facets. Amethyst occurs in many shades, from a light, slightly lavender pinkish to a deep purple similar to that of the Cabernet Sauvignon grape. Amethyst is also pleochroic, which means that when light hits the gem, shades of different colors such as reds and blues can be seen from different angles.

Amethyst is the birthstone of February. It is also associated with the zodiac signs of Pisces, Aries, Aquarius and Sagittarius.

Kariba Amethyst mine covers an area of 396 ha, and is located in the southern part of Kalomo district, Zambia. Kariba mine produces some of the finest amethysts in the world. Its unparalleled deep purple has become a synonym of the best color and appearance setting a standard of excellence for this inspiring gemstone.

The divine deep purple of amethyst has for generations been regarded as source of inspiration.

The main amethyst producing countries are Zambia, Brazil, Bolivia and Uruguay.

African Amethyst is praised for its color and quality. The color of an African amethyst is richer and deeper than that of amethysts from other origins. Highly-saturated colors and inclusion-free gems are extremely rare and most precious.

African amethysts can be found in a wide range of purple shades with deep violet with red or blue flashes being the most valuable variety. Its color is incomparable and even other more expensive purple gemstones are often compared to its allure and beauty. Although less common than gemstones from Brazil, Zambian amethysts are available at an amazingly better quality.
