I've mentioned this a couple of times in Rocks chat, but in my opinion the amethyst that is set in Rocks TV's marcasite jewellery is absolutely outstanding.
According to the item info it's Russian amethyst, which a quick Google search suggests is some of the best in the world. It really is the most amazing deep violet purple colour with even saturation and superb clarity - no visible inclusions whatever. It's so perfect it almost doesn't look real!
If there was such a thing as AAA amethyst, this would be it (and to be honest I actually prefer it to tanzanite, but obviously I'm a Phillistine). If this wasn't such a common gemstone, people would pay a fortune for it I reckon!
I've now seen all the amethyst and marcasite pieces (Katherine kindly e-mailed me the item numbers) and bought the ones I want. Can we have some more designs, please, Rocks?
