Item Description
Clinohumite is a relatively uncommon silicate that RARELY forms gemmy crystals with good enough 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 lovely orange color gem that is nearly eye clean 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.
