Close to six carats of purple that picks up light even indoors: that is the quickest way to describe this amethyst. It weighs 5.95 carats and has a laser cut.

The colour is purple, in the jamunia style seen all over Pakistani jewellery, and the reference is AG-000223. Amethyst is mostly sold as it comes from the ground, though some stones are warmed to lighten the colour; message us on WhatsApp and we will tell you what we know about this one. An independent lab test is your choice.

It suits a silver ring or a pendant. At 7 on the Mohs scale it handles normal wear, but if you work with your hands, choose a low setting that guards the edge. Keep it away from long hours in hot sun, and clean it with a soft cloth and lukewarm water.

Vedic astrology ties jamunia to Saturn, which is a belief rather than a certainty. Sister stones are in the amethyst collection, or ask us on WhatsApp about a custom silver ring built around this one.

It comes Cash on Delivery, so you inspect it before paying; Karachi in about 1–2 working days, other cities in 2–4, and 7 days for returns. Read our amethyst guide before choosing.

This particular stone

This listing is one natural amethyst, known in Urdu as Jamunia, with a weight of 5.95 Carat. Its price is Rs. 15,000 — roughly Rs. 2,521 for each carat. Origin: Pakistan. Treatment: treatment not tested. Quote reference AG-000223 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.

Between two and six carats is the range most people choose for a gents' ring or a noticeable pendant. Here colour drives the price more than size does, which is why two stones of near-identical weight can be priced very differently.

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.

Whoever you buy amethyst from, make sure of three things: the stone is natural rather than lab-grown, glass or glass-filled; any treatment is stated in writing; and the weight quoted is the weight of the finished stone. We check every amethyst for those three points before it is listed, and because you pay on delivery you can look at the stone — or have it tested — before any money changes hands.

We sell natural stones only and inspect each one before it is listed. Treatment for this stone: Treatment not tested. No lab report yet; independent testing welcome.
