Maraba Amethyst - $1 to $6/carat
Locality: Brazil, South America

This material is large and clean... The Maraba mine in Brazil is not producing much material any more and this material is getting increasingly difficult to get. In particular the large quality material is very difficult. For anybody that likes to cut very large Amethyst this is some of the best material available.

This material is saw cleaned, there maybe an occasional spot that was missed, but this rough is clean.

It is a medium light to medium color with gorgeous blue/purple/magenta colors in it. The material is a little deceptive when you first look, it seems to be a little zoned, but when cut, the zones blend nicely and finish as some of the best stones you will ever see. I like it in about any design, I generally cut for cleanliness and yield, and usually do not worry about the orientation much. Because of the size of this rough Barions are a good choice.

Note: The colors and the color zones will appear differently depending on the light. So check the rough in different light types before cutting. This material often has a magenta/gold stripe in is that make the colors striking. The gold is not really that gold, it is the magenta color line mixing with the blue and purple, it makes a peach magenta blush depending on the light.
