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 rough and cut set features a "Wide Trillion" cut gem with a beautiful greenish-yellow color and is only very very slightly included. It is paired up with a noteworthy, sharp, soft greenish-yellow color crystal of Brazilianite with good form and decent internal gemminess. They are nicely paired in terms of size, color and quality. Priced at $900.
