Item Description
This is a super rare collector's stone. When is the last time that you can remember seeing a faceted stone of Aragonite? With the exception of the Czech specimens, Aragonite is rarely found in facet grade material. Chemcially it is a polymorh of Calcite, but is certainly much rarer and more highly sought after among gem collectors. This stone is a wonderful, virtually eye clean gem with an "Emerald" cut. These gems are very difficult to find these days, and stones this size are not common $157.50.
