Item Description

Here we have a wonderful "Emerald" cut collector's stone of Parisite (mineralogically it's Parisite-(Ce)), with a beautiful with a medium golden-orange hue with moderate inclusions, 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 Colombia, while they have good color, are rarely gemmy enough to produce fine quality gems. This is certainly a collector's stone as rare gems are considered to be top collector quality when they reach at least 1.00 carats in weight.
