Item Description
Spodumene is only known from a few localities around the world in good gem quality crystals. Afghanistan has been a great source of pink, green and yellow gem Spodumeme for a few decades, and remains one of the best producers of the material today. This rough and cut set features a wonderful 50+ carat "Brilliant Square" cut gem with a lovely yellow hue and virtually eye clean clarity. The crystal in the set is a good quality, VERY gemmy, soft yellow prismatic etched crystal with only minor rough edges. The stone is the true star of the pair, and it really looks beautiful in any kind of light. Valued at $1500 together.
