Shown here is a beautiful, 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 reasonable clarity, and shows the fine medium-depth purple color typical of this locality. The polish and overall proportion of the stone is good, but the facet meets and facet symmetry are slightly "off". The stone is slightly color-zoned, but the zoning is barely noticeable face-up. This gem is a good size for a ringstone, pendant, or pin. The gem rough for this gemstone was mined by Rodney Moore, the recent developer of the JXR amethyst deposit, and faceted in the U.S.A. by a member of Jerry Call's Rio Doce Inc.
