Bytownite (Feldspar)

Item Description

In the group of gem Feldspars, one of the most rare in the world is Bytownite. This stone is an attractive, beautifully well cut, "straw" color "Concave Round Brilliant" cut gemstone that is nearly eye clean - only very very slightly included. This stone was custom faceted by Allyce Kosnar of Mineral Classics in August of 2011. It is very rare to find any faceted gems of this material, simply because most gem dealers don't carry them, and to find a custom cut gem in this size, is relatively rare. This stone came from some older material and is a great stone of an uncommon Feldspar species.
