How much is the amethyst?

Price factor of amethyst

1. Crystal: the more transparent the amethyst crystal, the more expensive it will be. Of course, the fully transparent amethyst can hardly be seen now, and there will be some impurities inside the natural amethyst crystal. Amethyst without impurities is usually artificial crystal.

2, color: the brighter the color of amethyst, the more expensive the price is, the color of natural crystal will not be very uniform, and different beads or even one bead on the same amethyst bracelet may be uneven, especially when you put it in water, and the color of the synthesis is more uniform.

3, inclusions: the inclusions of natural crystals can not be avoided, such as cotton wool, ice cracks, etc., this is formed in the process of natural formation, but the question of how much, if there are fewer impurities in the crystal, and the crystal is more transparent, generally speaking, the price of amethyst is relatively expensive. Of course, there are some amethyst completely free of impurities in the market, and most of these crystals are artificial crystals or nourishing crystals, so you should see them clearly when you choose them.

4, size: amethyst in the same quality and the same color, the larger the crystal specification, the more expensive the price, of course, there is also a situation, that is, when the quality is different, the specification is also a price-determining factor.

Origin distribution of amethyst

1. South Korea: Korea's amethyst has a very charming blue-purple, very beautiful, many people are very fond of this exotic color, bringing people a deep and noble temperament, but the production has been decreasing in recent years, and there are restrictions on the export of amethyst, resulting in Korean amethyst becoming relatively rare and prices soaring.

2. Brazil: Brazil is one of the main producers of natural crystals. Of course, amethysts are also produced in large quantities. Although Brazil produces amethysts of different colors from dark to light, the production of dark amethysts is still small. Produce more light or medium purple amethysts. Amethyst produced in Brazil has been diverted around the world by a large number of amethyst bracelets, amethyst necklaces and so on. The prices of these amethyst are in the middle price and are relatively acceptable to buyers.

4. Uruguay: the amethyst produced in Uruguay is regarded as one of the best tones in the amethyst. This kind of amethyst is very deep and has a lasting appeal, with a slightly wine-red intoxicating glow, and in recent years the output is very small and close to stopping production, so it has become extremely rare, so Uruguayan amethyst is the town treasure of some high-end jewelry stores.

5. Madagascar: Madagascar does not mainly produce amethyst, because it produces more amethyst impurities and its gloss is not good enough. it is relatively low-grade in amethyst and is not very favored.
