Amethyst from Jackson's Crossroads, Georgia
No. 895: Maltese Cross
Cut: 12.48 ct., VS, 15.0 x 15.0 x 10.8 mm, $187.20 faceted by Robert Drummond On Hold
Shown here is gorgeous, medium-depth, amethyst from a small amethyst mine located
at Jackson's Crossroads, Georgia. This locality has been know for many years, but
has only recently been mined on a commercial basis. Amethyst of excellent clarity
and color is now available from this Georgia deposit. The amethyst gemstone shown
above has excellent clarity, good scintillation, and is expertly crafted. The polish,
proportions, and symmetry are all excellent. The stone is slightly color-zoned, showing
a slight shift from light to darker shades of purple as the gem is rotated. This
gem would look beautiful in a pendant or pin.
