Crocoite

Item Description

The best Crocoite gems come from Tasmania, and they are simply some of the most easily recognizable and beautiful of all rare stones. The characteristic vivid orange-red color makes Crocoite one of the most popular stones among collectors. Crocoite stones are typically rare due to the fact that the crystals are often very thin and slender, and not suitable for cutting gems. This particular stone is a very good sized gem for Crocoite, with superb color and nice translucency (Crocoite is never water clear unless the stones are tiny) with an "Emerald" cut. A very fine stone of this amazingly colorful and much-in-demand rare gem.
