Hauyne (rare)

Item Description

Hauyne is one of the most sought after rare gems out there. Collectors will tell you that it has an amazingly intense blue color, and the utter scarcity on the market makes it highly desirable. Virtually all the facet grade Hauyne in the world comes from the Eifel Mts in Germany where is forms in basic vulcanism rocks. It's actually a member of the Sodalite group, but most species in this group rarely occur in such powerfully strong color stones like Hauyne. The very limited of quantity of good material available makes for incredibly high prices per carat. These stones are often very small, and gems over 1 carat are next to impossible to obtain. In fact, a stone weight of 0.50 carats is pretty significant. This little gem is a beautiful electric royal blue color stone that is only very very slightly included and has a "Round" cut on it. A very rare stone with a tremendously beautiful color worthy of a rare gem collection.
