AMETHYST, 11mm X 9mm. 3.00 Ct. Deep Purple Color Oval Stone, New

Authentic Amethyst, deep purple saturation, did not specify origin because this was from a large parcel of mixed authentic gemstones. My best guess is that it is African, high quality. Clean to the naked eye, some small flaws can be seen only thru jeweler's loupe. Stock picture is for reference only as to approximate value and carat weight. This looks like a purple Sapphire, but highly unlikely in a large mixed authentic gemstone parcel, but would be very cool.
