Hillcrest Precious Jewels are proud to offer a strictly limited collection of Mapatizya Amethyst Pairs. They have been specially cut to our instructions. These are rare gemstones indeed, and are in keeping with HPJ’s efforts to offer the rare and beautiful here on BoB.
High quality amethyst was first discovered in Zambia in the 1950's. The material was located in a 30 km long by 15 km wide belt in the south of the country in the Mwakambiko hills of the Mapatizya area, in the Kalomo District.
The mining operation at Mapatizya is mechanized. Bulldozers and excavators are used to strip, excavate and expose the amethyst veins. The veins are then mined selectively by pick and shovel.
MAPATIZYA AMETHYST ROUGH
Though African amethyst is much less common than the vast production from South America, the quality tends to be much higher. Where much of the South American amethyst is a pale violet or mid-toned purple, the Zambian amethyst tends to a highly saturated deep purple, sometimes with blue or red flashes. The richer color is very much in demand for finer jewelry, so the African amethyst tends to sell for a premium price.
