Item Description
Rare stones are considered to be top collector quality when they reach at least 1.00 carats in weight. With that said, here we have a top gem collector's stone of Parisite (mineralogically it's Parisite-(Ce)), with a beautiful with golden hue, that shows flashes of greens, yellows and orange depending upon the light under which it's viewed. The stone has a "Brilliant Trillion" cut, and it's very slightly included, but the inclusions are more than forgivable considering that gem quality Parisite is virtually impossible to find on the market. Most crystals are barely translucent, and the pieces I've seen from Zagi Mountain in Pakistan, while they have good color, are never gemmy enough to produce fine quality gems like this.
