Smoky Quartz (LARGE stone)

Item Description

Brazil produces a large amount of gem quality Smoky Quartz, a large percentage of which is used in the lapidary and gemological world. Some of the pieces are rather large, and can yield impressive faceted stone like this one. This "Emerald" cut gem is one of the largest Smoky Quartz stones that we've had to offer in the auctions, weighing in at a whopping 106.50 carats. The most impressive aspect of the stone is the fact that its essentially eye-clean, with no visible inclusions that I can find anywhere. A stone of this size with such wonderfully rich saturated color and amazing clarity is a big deal. There aren't too many species in the world can produce gems that weigh over 100 carats, so this is not only a superb collector's stone, but it's also a wonderful candidate for a big pendant! The retail value on this gem is $3,727.50.
