Beryl var: Goshenite

Item Description

A supreme large Goshenite gem from the Golconda Mine in Brazil. The stone is essentially colorless, but there is a TINY bit of color (some people can see a very pale pinkish tone, while others have said they see a very light blue shade) in certain light. The stone has an excellent "Round Brilliant" cut and is notably clean for the size, I couldn't see any inclusions with the naked eye, and I honestly didn't see anything with a 10x loupe. For the size and the rare locality, the stone is priced at $4,181.25. You're not likely to see another like it from Golconda anytime soon.
From the collection of Bill ("Burma Bill") Larson of Fallbrook, California. Bill is a well-known gem and mineral dealer (Pala International) as well as a miner and collector. Bill traveled the world for decades in search of fine gems and minerals, and was directly involved in the in-person acquisition and importation of superb specimens from many important gem-producing localities.
