Clinohumite (rare)

Item Description

From a mineralogical standpoint, Clinohumite is a relatively uncommon silicate, which RARELY forms gemmy crystals with good enough color for faceting. A few years ago, there was a discovery of what are some of the finest Clinohumite crystals in the Pamir Mountains of Tajikistan. These crystals were of a vivid color and excellent gem clarity. Many of crystals were cut into stones and set a new standard for the species as a cut gem. This particular stone is a wonderful, light orange color gem that is very very slightly included and has a "Round Brilliant" cut. This material is extremely difficult to find now as the locality seems to be exhausted and the best stones are long gone. Don't miss this opportunity to add this great rarity to your collection.
