Item Description
This is one of the very few facetted Bixbyite stones that I've seen from Utah. This rare oxide is almost never seen in cut stones, and for any rare stone collector I can't imagine that you'd want to pass up this chance to add a very rare gem like this to your collection. The stone itself it opaque, but I personally see less than one of these gems per year, so you know it's hard to find. This "Pear" cut gem would fit in very well amongst a "black " stone collection. Most rare gem dealers don't even have a piece of this material to cut let alone to offer for sale in the form of a finished product.
