DESCRIPTION:

Awesome lot of RAREEEEEEEEEE NATURAL Mandarin to Tangerine Orange Clinohumite Faceting Rough from Tajikistan! This material is VERY sporadically produced and we were EXTREMELY lucky to be able to acquire any! Facet & Cab grade Clinohumite is really only produced in one location in the world significantly and this material is probably as rare as it gets for stones. We have RARELY encountered this material in the rough abroad and have only seen a handful of cut stones available with most being in the .20-.40 or so carat range.

This material is RARELY eye-clean and slightly included material looks to be the norm at best when going over 1 carat in size. Cut stones that go over 1 carat are practically unheard of for this material. This piece is slightly included; however, most of the significant inclusions are on the periphery and should easily facet out with a little planning and hard work! This is a nice chunky crystal section and will most likely yield a very slightly to slightly included finished stone with average to above average yield. We have seen slightly included stones above 1 carat go from a few hundred Per Carat to well over $1,000 depending on size and seller. This is the ONLY Piece of Clinohumite we have at the moment that is available and it truly is exceptionally large considering the clarity!!
