Herderite (rough and cut set)

Item Description

Green Hydroxylherderite only came out in a few pockets and is one of the rarest of Pakistan pegmatite species in specimen form. The specimen in this rough and cut set is from Sabsir, Pakistan and is a sharp, translucent, soft sage-green crystal off matrix. It's paired up with a faceted stone from Minas Gerais, Brazil with an "Emerald" cut and nearly eye clean clarity. I find it very interesting that the color of the stone and crystal are so similar considering the distance between their respective localities.
