Goshenite (rough and cut set)

Item Description

Beryl comes in virtually every color of the rainbow, but one of the more valuable shades of Beryl is the colorless variety, Goshenite. These stones are much more rare than Aquamarine, Emerald or Heliodor, and true Goshenite is only found in a few localities in fine quality gem material. Brazil has probably produced more good Goshenite gems over the years than any other country, followed by Pakistan/Afghanistan. The stone in this rough and cut set is an attractive, good sized, very very slightly included colorless gem with an attractive "Modified Round Brilliant" cut. The specimen is just as impressive as it features a very sharp and lustrous, well-formed, blocky, colorless hexagonal crystal group aesthetically perched atop white bladed Albite (variety "Cleavelandite") matrix. Together, the set is valued at $1250.
