Jamunia is one of the most affordable ways to own a truly large coloured stone, and 24.6 carats is big for amethyst jewellery. It will take over a ring finger, so many buyers pick it for a pendant or a piece kept for special occasions.

Plain facts

Natural amethyst, laser cut, purple, 24.6 carats. Big stones often carry a lower rate per carat, so when you compare, divide the price by the weight rather than looking at totals. Reference: AG-000246.

Treatment and testing

Here is what is normal in the trade. Most amethyst is sold as mined, but some is heated to lighten the colour. A careful buyer asks, so please do. We will tell you what we know about this exact stone, and independent lab testing is entirely your choice.

Caring for your amethyst

It is quartz, 7 on the Mohs scale, so ordinary wear is no problem. A stone this large does catch its edges, so a bezel mount is sensible. Store it apart from harder gems. If this is larger than you need, browse other amethyst sizes, and remember that Cash on Delivery lets you inspect it first.

Karachi orders usually arrive in 1–2 working days, the rest of Pakistan in 2–4, and you have 7 days to return it. Read our amethyst guide as well.

Quote reference AG-000246 when you message us about it. The photographs show this exact stone, so what arrives at your door is the piece you chose on screen.

Above twelve carats you are into collector territory. Pieces this heavy are usually set as pendants or kept loose, and they are prized for the size of rough they came from. If you do set it, choose a bezel or a heavy claw to protect the edges.

On the Mohs scale amethyst rates 7. It handles daily wear, but a hard knock can still nick an exposed corner, so a protective setting is a sensible choice. Clean it with warm soapy water and a soft brush, and keep it away from abrasive cleaners and high heat.
