Sawed Clean Medium/Dark Amethyst - $1.25/ct to $1.00/ct
Locality: Brazil

This is really nice material for the money. This material is quite a bit darker than Bolivian Amethyst. The color is medium to dark purple and nice, there is a color zone once and a while but this material is good and solid color. If you like my sawed clean Ametrine and Rose de France then you will really like this material. Sizes are basically 10 carats to 20 carats per piece and there are a few larger and smaller ones. Random pour and sizes are mixed, all of these stones are nice sized.

Check my Rose de France page for nice quality light Amethyst.

Note: Medium colored Maraba is several shades lighter than this material, people selling it as medium colored Amethyst are being less than truthful. There is a significant color difference.

Uruguay Amethyst Points "Medium Color" - $1.20 to $2.50/carat
Locality: Uruguay, South America

This material is a nice medium color, sometimes darker but may have a little zoning. The colors are a rich purple with some magenta highlights. I mostly cut for the best yield because the zones usually mix and blend making a beautiful rich colored stone. These are great performs and will yield very well with the natural point as a pavilion. I cut them in Barions or some other deeper design, there are no problems when cutting this material.

Note: The zoned pieces I would cut in a checker board, they work well and make interesting stones.
