Item Description

Brazilianite is one of the most attractive gems out there, as the best stones truly do not resemble anything else. There are very few localities for gem material in the world, and Brazil remains the only country that produces fine stones with any consistency. This "Emerald" cut gem has a beautiful light greenish-yellow color and is only very very slightly included (it was very difficult to photograph but looks very nice in person). It is paired up with a noteworthy, sharp, blocky, rich green color crystal of Brazilianite with excellent, lustrous faces and good internal gemminess. The crystal is obviously the better half of this set, and that's where most of the value lies. Together they are priced at $3000 retail
