Antique RARE, circa 1879 14k white gold 5.5 Carat Rose De France Amethyst Ring

  
Antique RARE, circa 1879 14k white gold 5.5 Carat Rose De France Amethyst Ring. This is an antique, Victorian era circa. This stunner is a size 7 & aprox 5.8 grams, the rose de France amethyst is aprox 17mm long & around 5.5 full carats. The ring is in very good antique condition w/light normal wear for the age. There are some surface scratches to the stone, which can be seen in pics, but they just aren't noticeable when wearing. Genuine Rose De France amethysts are rarely found in circulation. They have a gradient of pale pink/ lilac color. They form in flower-like bunches of crystal & are found in cracks of basalt & have to be gently mined. The violet/blue hue you see in some is my pics is actually it's base gem, Chalcedony. Rose Amethyst comes from Brazil & the crystals are unique to the stone.

They are flower shaped specimens & can be traced to less than 3 locations in the world which makes them very rare. Be sure to zoom in on photos for more details & please ask any questions! This is even more stunning in person, there's also no large inclusions seen on a loupe. Clarity is excellent for its age & the emerald cut really makes this sparkle. This will continue to increase in value, which makes it a great investment piece or heirloom.
