Item Description
A thick blocky group of Tantalite-(Mn) (formerly Manganotantalite) from Mawi, Afghanistan is paired with a fiery red color "Step Rectangle" cut gem from Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. Faceted gems of this material are seldom seen on the market, and this set is worth picking up just for the gem alone, especially because it weighs over 3 carats. The set is priced at $1400 in the inventory
