Item Description
Hambergite is one those stones that you only see from a few worldwide localities, and these are great gems for rare stone collectors. The most unique aspect of Hambergite has to be the fact that it has the lowest density of any gem with high birefringence. The stone in this set is from Madagascar is a very good quality, colorless, virtually eye clean gem with a "Brilliant Square Cushion" cut. The crystal is a very attrative single white prism with sharp faces and good surface luster from Drot, Gilgit-Baltistan (Northern Areas), Pakistan. If you're a rare gem collector, you have to pick this one up for the stone, but the crystal is just as impressive for quality and size. This set is priced at $1500 in the inventory.
