Item Description
Amblygonite is a relatively rare stone and is only found from a few localities in top gem material. Stone that approach five carats like this gem are highly sought after by collectors, and deeply appreciated by those who have experience with rare gems. This particular stone has a VERY light straw-yellow color, and has a "Trillion" cut. With the naked eye, I cannot see any inclusions in this gem, which is quite impressive for a stone this size. Amblygonite is too soft and brittle for jewelry, but these are not very common today in ANY size. This would make a great addition to any rare stone collection, and is a good buy for the $100 starting bid.
