Amethyst’s price in India ranges from Rs. 150 ($2) per carat to Rs. 400 ($7) per carat. Color is the largest factor affecting the price of a stone, but there are other factors as well. Here’s the list of the following-

Origin-

Amethyst from Brazil and Africa is popular and expensive as a result of their high color quality which is a major factor to determine these stone’s price and quality.

Color-

Amethyst stone prices are largely determined by this factor. An intense purple color stone with a reddish and bluish tone commands a higher price on the market than a lighter or darker stone. Additionally, the price of an amethyst stone decreases if it has brown color tints or color zones.

Clarity-

Amethysts are classified as Type 2 on clarity standards meaning they have few inclusions. However, they can sometimes have brownish-red needles or L-shaped bands, which can reduce the value of Amethysts. Eye-clean stones with good color quality command higher prices in the market.

Cut and Shape-

Amethysts with highly faceted surfaces allow the light to shine through and highlight the color of the stone while there is also a possibility of concealing inclusions. Additionally, faceted stones, as opposed to cabochons will be more expensive due to the waste generated in the cutting process.

Carat Weight-

With Amethyst’s abundant availability, its prices are not affected by carat weight significantly, which is why large Amethyst is popular too.

Treatment-

Amethysts are not subject to extensive treatment because they are readily available, but some treatments are used to enhance their clarity and color. Natural amethyst stones will be more expensive than those that have been treated.

Amethyst is primarily distinguished by its color. However, other factors will also help a customer make an informed decision. The following factors contribute to the quality of this stone.

Origin-

Amethyst is found in

Russia

Zambia

India

Brazil

Myanmar

Madagascar

Mexico

Sri Lanka

In terms of popularity, African amethyst holds first place due to its rich purple color, followed by Zambian and Brazilian gems in raspberry color.

Color-

Amethyst has a brilliant purple color. Violent hues in the stone range from a pale lilac to a deep, royal purple, ranging from a brownish color to one that is highly vibrant. For most people, an Amethyst is most preferred when it is strongly saturated dark purple to reddish-purple. If the color is too dark, it might appear black in low light conditions. The value of the stone is reduced by brownish or bronze color tints or color zoning.

Clarity-

Amethyst is found in needles or L-shaped inclusions, which is most commonly present in African material, especially in Zambian material, but it is accepted by customers due to its high saturation of raspberry hues. Although Amethyst is graded as Type-2 on clarity standards, indicating it is naturally cleaner than other gemstones; eye-clean stones are more valuable than others.

Cut and shape-

Amethyst comes in different shapes, such as rounds, ovals, pears, and emerald cuts. The stone has also been cut into shapes such as marquise, cushions, and others. In this regard, triangular and kite-shaped cuts are considered ideal, as they are highly faceted.

Carat Weight-

Amethysts of varying carat weights do not dramatically affect price, which is why large amethysts are also preferred.

Treatment-

As Amethyst is sufficiently available, it is not prone to synthetic processing or treatments, but surface-reaching fractures still need to be factures filled to improve apparent clarity, while heat treatments are used to enhance colors. Therefore, natural amethyst tends to be valuable and compatible to a greater degree than treated or synthetic ones.

What is the difference between Green Amethyst and Purple Amethyst?

In Gemology, Amethyst is recognized as a naturally occurring, purple colored semi-precious gemstone of Quartz mineral family. Green Amethyst on the other hand is not a different gemstone but the outcome of intense heat treatment done to change amethyst color from purple to green.

Which is the best origin for Amethyst for an astrological purpose?

African Amethyst is considered best for astrological use because of its intense, true purple color. However, since Brazilian and Siberian Amethysts are good enough in quality as well, they can also be worn. Considering that Amethyst is not too expensive yet important astrologically, we would like to advise our customers to wear high quality Amethyst which is color-consistent and inclusion free to receive maximum benefits.

Is Amethyst as effective as Blue Sapphire in the astrological arena?

Amethyst is recognized in Vedic astrology as the substitute or upratna of blue sapphire which means it is capable of delivering results but not without having certain repercussions. However, it is slower to give results for the same.
