Item Description

Everybody is probably familiar with this material, but have you seen how these gems have sky-rocketed in popularity recently? I have seen some European gem and jewelry dealers who are SELLING this material for $100 per carat, and it is flying off the shelves. It seems to have found a niche in the European market, and buyers and dealers alike are scooping these gems up as fast as they can find them. I honestly have always liked these gems, and now they are becoming more difficult for me to purchase. This stone is essentially a colorless "Semi-Oval Cabochon" cut Quartz stone, which features beautiful reddish metallic Hematite throughout. With the high prices being paid for these gems, they will more than likely always stay at a high value from now on, so do not miss your chance to scoop up this attractive one-of-a-kind stone for a great price.
