Comment: Most hypnotic color in any natural amethyst: a mélange of violet and purple, with red and blue sparks. Artigas is amongst the leading sources of finest amethyst world-wide. This too-posh-for-words hue used to be called 'Siberian' but the term has been 'washed out'. No color zoning (a sought-after quality in this color), no inclusions except a flat natural indent of the outer edge (invisible in front-view and barely eye-visible from the back), flawless hand-cut, and no window. DSEF report, grading papers, global shipping, WildFish extras and good deeds are included in our prices. Big, but not too clunky for a ring. At $250/ct (before any member discounts) in the top-range of amethyst, and (not 'but') worth every dime. Not yet MD80, therefore never too dark.
