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.
