An unusually transparent, large, free-form cut amethyst with a few internal, natural flaws. It is cut with 14 large and small facets. It has one major natural fracture traversing the centre of the piece, and several smaller ones along one side. These do not detract from the overall transparency and appearance as the photos on the left show. The transparency can be seen by the visability of the plastic stand beneath. The average colour shown is slightly more purple than the actual piece. The photo on the left with the pinkish background has been colour-adjusted to give a truer colour. The actual weight of the piece is 266 grams (1330 carats), although the shipping weight shown in the shopping basket is greater to accommodate packaging.
