Bolivian Amethyst, cut in an original design that provides a pixelated look. The blue flashes in the stone are really there, not simply an environmental reflection. There are some fine scratches on a couple of the crown facets, sorry. They aren’t noticeable unless the stone is tilted just perfectly to reflect the light.
