Item Description
Clinohumite is rarely seen in gem quality examples from most localities. The vast majority of the crystals found around the world are opaque and fairly dark, so when you find transparent material with vivid color like this, it's a big deal. A few years ago, there was a find of some of the most spectacular 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 stunning, bright 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.
