Violet Dusk. An exceptionally large gem in a noble deep purple. The color invokes royalty and mystery. In the ancient world, purple dye was rare and expensive, and the Phoenicians (modern-day Lebanon) were the key traders in this coveted color, extracted from a shellfish called the Murex. Just as the Phoenicians announced their presence on the seas by flaunting purple sails, wearing this purple gem will make waves in any gathering.
