I was perusing the estate pieces at a respected local jewelry store today when I spotted a platinum ring with what looked to me like a large, beautiful oval blue sapphire cabachon surrounded by many small diamonds set in the gallery. The salesman insisted that the center stone was an amethyst. The lighting was good -- we were next to large windows -- and I couldn''t detect any hint of red in that stone! The stone was ~5X~18mm, and 5-10mm high and absolutely clear. The style looked deco or earlier.
Is there such a thing as a blue amethyst?
