MOROCCAN AMETHYST
Moroccan Amethyst is not just another Amethyst, but a unique mine-to-market gemstone that is ethically and environmentally minded and cut. Characteristic “hourglass” color zoning and striking red hematite “finger” inclusions help distinguish Moroccan amethyst.
Moroccan Amethyst has an even, velvety purple color, reminiscent of the now historic Siberian Amethyst. They also display blue flashes, similar to some Brazilian and Zambian Amethyst, as well as cranberry red flashes caused by microscopic hematite needle inclusions, a gemological feature unique to Moroccan Amethyst. Blue and red facet flashes are highly desirable in Amethyst and a key quality consideration, along with a rich velvety hue, good brilliance, and attractive luster.
