| DESCRIPTION: |
Awesome lot of Rare Axinite Faceting and Cabbing Rough from Gilgit, Pakistan. This is some of the weirdest material we have EVER seen from this area. It has a weird color that changes on different axis. At times stones appear Pastel to Dark Purple while at other angles you can get a Rose Red to Yellowish Papadrascha Sapphire color. These crystals are select material from what we purchased and went through. We have never seen this material in facet grade in Pakistan and have only seen it a handful of times in specimen form. Almost every piece in this lot is a crystal or crystal section and the lot is running conservatively 40%+ High facet grade. This is a great oddity to pick up for the collection as we don't know anything that occurs like this stone naturally. |
