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 "Quantum Emerald" cut gemstone that is nearly eye clean. Please note that the stone is much lighter (paler) in person than the photos would indicate. 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 gem in this size, is relatively rare. This stone came from some older material and is a great stone of an uncommon Feldspar species.
