专家说明

The State inventory of 1925 described these eight amethysts as 'evidently the first procured in the Ural, about 1750-1760'.
It had been Peter the Great who had patriotically instigated the search for precious stones in Russia, with the deep, rich purple of Siberian amethysts becoming amongst the most highly prized.
