Hillcrest Precious Jewels are proud to offer a strictly limited collection of Mapatizya Amethysts. These are rare gemstones indeed, and are in keeping with HPJ’s efforts to offer the rare and beautiful here on BoB. The colour is beyond breath taking.
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.
Though African amethyst is much less common than the vast production from South America, the quality tends to be much higher.
