Item Description

Clinohumite is a relatively uncommon silicate that RARELY forms gemmy enough crystals with good color for faceting. Recently 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 virtually eye clean and has a "Square Emerald" 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.
