10+ct Unique Amethyst Cut by Award Winning Cutter (Work is in Museums!)
About the Item
This is a rare type of Amethyst/Quartz that comes out of Morocco and a few other places of the world at times. Some my call it Amethyst Bicolor, Amethyst Tricolor, Tricolor Quartz, Bicolor Quartz, etc. It is essentially Amethyst whose chemical composition changed not only twice during its growth process by three times! The elemental composition of the growing crystal changed three times, so starting as Amethyst initially, then changing to Clear and then back to Amethyst during its growth. Wow!....
A Very Unique Natural Tricolor Quartz carved/faceted by a Multi-Award Winning Cutter, who recently one in a category receiving an award in 2024 from AGTA in their Cutting Edge Annual Competition. This exact material has also won praise when the cutter made a whole suite of these unique pieces, creating a necklace - this prestigious piece resides in the Alfie Norville Gem & Mineral Museum in Tucson. Should you purchase this rare piece, you can visit the related gems and view the necklace in the museum. Note that this unique quartz, growing in zones of deep glowing amethyst, changing to clear and then back to Amethyst, is found in a deposit in Morocco and is not commonly found in general, not to mention one needs transparent and clean material in order to faceted gems. We love this material and managed to talk our associate into releasing the last few of the pieces he had.
This gem weighs 10.75cts and the cutter/designer had a price of $600/ct on this. We can offer this piece at $300/ct. Save $3,225 off the retail price that the cutter/designer was originally asking! Original container with cutters info/price is available and will be used to house this gemstone in transit to its new home in the future!
This material from Morocco is known to frequently have hematite legs (inclusions) - any in this gemstone will help to identify this gem species and perhaps even the locality - there is nothing that is glaring to the naked eye or distracting. Should you own a loupe or microscope, we encourage you to view the internal world of this gemstone. You can see some of the hematite legs in the close up photography in the photos and video - but with the naked eye, these fade into the design of the piece.
We have another two pieces of this material - one larger, and one smaller. The larger piece was also priced by the cutter at $600/ct and the smaller piece at $300/ct. We can sell either at 1/2 that price should anyone have an interest. Perhaps someone want a ring and pendant combo!

- 4.27ct Freeform GREEN Zoisite (same mineral as Tanzanite!) Unique Cut & Color!Located in Methuen, MAIn keeping with All That Glitters' Unique and Rare Gems, here is a gemstone that most people are familiar with but don't know that it can come in various other colors (purple, teal, green, yellow, gold, pink and colors in between). The mineral is Zoisite and when it is a Blue Purple or Purple Blue, it is called Tanzanite. This ia a Green Zoisite; some call this Green Tanzanite or simply Fancy Tanzanite. Most Tanzanite comes out of the ground as a brown color and is heated to obtain the blue/purple; however, some is apparently heated natural in the ground and we have purchased the rough in various colors. Because this body color is Green, this would not have been heated. Zoisite/Tanzanite is trichroic and as the rough or gemstone is turned to look at all three axes, different colors can be obversed. You can see purple in some directions as this piece is viewed from the side. This interesting freeform weighs 4.27cts. This beauty was Faceted in the U.S. by a Multi-Award Winning Cutter who is represented in museums. (Initial owner/cutter was seeking about $8,000 for this unique beauty from the trade, but we have a good rapport with this cutter and we can offer this to the public at about his original price.) Photos have not been color corrected. Color and Brilliance is much better in person. For those seeking the standard color of Tanzanite, we do have a fine selection of high grade Tanzanites...Category
