I love amethyst, and years ago lost one of my favorite earrings.  I never replaced them until I came across this and couldn't believe the price.

I bought these, as well as in citrine and peridot.  The quality is amazing for the price.  It's a dark purple, it didn't have the blue tone to it like the photo.  I think my earring look better than the picture.  For the price, I don't thinK you can beat it.
