<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lisa, post: 90487, member: 569&quot;]I have this antique amethyst pendant. It once was a pin of my GGGrandmother&#039;s which was eventually turned into a pendant. The amethyst has cracked recently. It looks like it has cracked on the inside. I can&#039;t find any crack lines on the outside; but you can obviously see that it&#039;s cracked inside. I would like to know if the crack has completely devalued the piece. Before it was cracked I knew that it had some value because of the large beautiful amethyst. Now I&#039;m wondering if it&#039;s basically worth it&#039;s weight in gold. Any ideas if my thinking is correct? </p><p><br /></p><p>The piece is 14K gold, weighs about 16.68 grams. The whole piece measures about 2&quot; x 1&quot;. The amethyst is about 20mm wide, 25mm long and 13mm deep. There are 15 various size diamonds covering the top part of the pendant. I&#039;m not asking for a value on the piece; just wondering if a cracked amethyst like this is completely worthless <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s hard to picture the crack; so I&#039;ve taken pictures in different light and angles. </p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you! </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/8a6C3U8.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/bG3LO1D.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/gB1xM99.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
