Item Description

Pezzottaite is one of the great new gem discoveries of the last 20 years. It is a cesium bearing beryl species discovered in Madagascar in 2003, and is only found in three localities in the world. It is definitely one of the most rare and beautiful gems on the market today regardless of the rarity. It is actually one of the great combinations of rarity and beauty that puts it into an elite category of gems. This material was originally thought to be a variety of beryl, but now stands as its own species. This flattened hexagonal crystal has one of the most unique colors in the gem world with a very rich, intense, rose-pink which truly doesn't resemble any other gem. No more have been found since 2005. 5.63 carats. Valued at $2000.
