Item Description
Danburite is not often seen in gem quality crystals outside of Charcas, Mexico, and to find crystals with color is even harder. Some years ago, there was a discovery of beautiful natural yellow-gold color Danburites from Madagascar. This rough and cut set features a sharp, prismatic, good quality single crystal of Danburite with a lovely internal golden color that is paired up with a lovely "Scissors Brilliant" cut gem with nearly eye-clean clarity and a bicolor golden and nearly colorless combiniation. Any colored Danburite gems are worth paying attention to, especially when they're clean and weigh over 4.5 carats. The set is valued at $400.
