February Birthstone — Amethyst

Colour: Amethyst ranges from the softest lilac to deep royal purple. The most valued stones display a rich, saturated violet-purple with red and blue undertones and uniform colour distribution throughout the gemstone.

Origin: The finest Amethyst comes from Brazil and Uruguay, both producing stones of deep, vivid colour saturation and excellent transparency that are the industry benchmark globally.

Quality: Colour depth and hue are the primary quality determinants in Amethyst. The most valuable stones display a rich, deep violet-purple — often described as "deep Siberian" — with red and blue secondary undertones and no colour zoning or uneven distribution. Transparency is a key secondary factor; the finest Amethyst is eye-clean, with excellent clarity and a vitreous lustre that allows light to pass through vividly. Stones with pale colour, visible inclusions, or milky transparency are of significantly lower value. Natural, unheated Amethyst with consistent deep colour throughout the stone is the definitive quality standard.

Price: Natural certified Amethyst ranges from approximately ₹300 to ₹5,000 per carat, depending on colour depth, clarity, and origin. Fine deep-purple Brazilian Amethyst commands the higher end.

Benefits: Amethyst brings mental calm and clarity of thought, improves emotional balance, and helps relieve stress and anxiety.
