17.45 ct. Rwandan Amethyst

This exquisite 17.45-carat pear cut Rwandan Amethyst is a true masterpiece of nature, showcasing unmatched color depth and saturation. Measuring 20x15x10 mm, this large gemstone is unheated and features a rich, deep purple hue that transitions to a remarkable red-violet color under artificial lighting and a blueish-purple hue in natural daylight. This exceptional color shift is a rare phenomenon among Amethyst varieties and adds to its allure as a highly coveted gemstone for both rare gem collectors, metaphysical healers, and stone medicine practitioners.

Discovered in 2015, Rwandan Amethyst has quickly gained acclaim as the finest Amethyst available in the gem world. Its vivid saturation and even color distribution make it a standout among Amethysts from other locations. Unlike most Amethyst rough, Rwandan specimens rarely require heat treatment to enhance their natural beauty, making this gemstone a testament to the Earth’s artistry. This is especially important in the world of stone medicine as one should only work with untreated, natural gemstones and specimens.

The pear cut of this Amethyst enhances its brilliance, creating a dance of light that highlights its rich hues and strong vibrational energy. Perfect for collectors and connoisseurs, this gemstone embodies both rarity and elegance, making it an ideal addition to any collection or custom jewelry design.

VIBRATIONAL FREQUENCY PROFILE

This Rwandan Amethyst emits a powerful violet frequency, facilitating heightened spiritual awareness and expanded consciousness. The deep purple hue resonates with the crown chakra, making it an exceptional tool for meditation, spiritual strength, and etheric revitalization. Its frequency aligns with the concept of the "Violet Flame" in Western Esotericism, promoting alchemical transmutation and inner transformation.

In Rudolf Steiner’s system of the Four Ethers, the violet frequency is linked to the Life Ether—the highest of the four ethers capable of penetrating solid matter. This connection amplifies the gemstone's ability to bridge the spiritual and physical realms, making it an ideal companion for those seeking profound spiritual growth and healing.

This rare and unheated Rwandan Amethyst is not only a treasure of nature but also a vibrational powerhouse, ideal for collectors, healers, and those drawn to its unique beauty and energy.

METAPHYSICAL PROPERTIES

Rwandan Amethyst symbolizes spiritual wisdom, clarity, and transformation. Its strong color shift embodies adaptability and versatility, while its deep violet hues connect the wearer to higher states of consciousness. Known for its calming energy, this gem encourages balance, intuition, and insight. Its unheated nature ensures a pure and undisturbed energetic frequency, making it a prized gemstone for metaphysical practitioners and collectors alike.

The gemstone’s origins in Rwanda, "The Land of a Thousand Hills" and a land of rich natural beauty, enhance its energetic significance. The purity of its formation and the rarity of its strong color shift make this Amethyst an extraordinary gem of unparalleled beauty and vibrational potency.

FAQ

Are the stones you use natural?

Yes! All of the stones we use are high-grade, premium, and 100% natural just as Gaia made them. They are not treated in any way (heat, irradiation, dye, stabilized, etc.) because some treatments alter the vibrational nature of the stone and can be detrimental to the energy field of the wearer.

Do pieces come in other sizes or stone combinations?

Each piece made is unique and not made to order. Therefore, this piece cannot be altered and does not come in other sizes or stone combinations. However, if you like this piece and want it longer, made with different stones, or altered in any way, please reach out to request a custom order via the Contact page.

Who made the pieces in your store?

Each piece is handcrafted with intention and love by founder Ashley Sohl. She hand-picks every stone and component that is used, and handmakes each piece with care and attention. We do not believe in mass produced, cookie-cutter jewelry. Sanctuary Vibrational Jewelry makes unique stone ally adornments for inner journeys and personal transformation.

How do you know the vibration of the stones?

The vibrational qualities are painstakingly tested by Ashley using a comibination of ancient and modern vibrational scientific techniques from different schools of thought, including BioGeometry, physical Radiesthesia, New Homeopathy, and more.

Do you use real gold?

Yes! We use solid 14k gold. We recently started offering gold-filled as an option to make pieces accessible to more people. If gold-filled doesn't show up as an option, please contact me to request a custom.

I want a piece that is sold out. What should I do?

Every piece I make is a genuine one of a kind. If you see a piece you like, but is sold out, you can request a custom order to have me make another one. But please be aware that some stones are very rare and I may not be able to source the exact same stones. Use the contact page to send me a message and we can discuss from there.
