DESCRIPTION: |
Awesome RAREEEEEEEEEE NATURAL NEW FIND of Tangerine Orange Clinohumite Faceting Rough from Tanzania! This material is VERY sporadically produced in association with Spinel from Morogo and we were EXTREMELY lucky to be able to acquire some on our last trip to Tanzania! 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. Tajikistan is the locality that produces the large sizes and the bulk of what is on the market today; however, it is nice to see some of this material finding its way out of Tanzania. This material is RARELY eye-clean and slightly included material looks to be the norm at best when going over 1 carat in size. The bulk of this material is under 1 carat and ideally suited for overseas commercial cutting; however, most of the material is practically eye-clean! We are confident you will produce some exceptional stones from this parcel that will make any collector proud! 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. We have a VERY VERY limited amount of this material available! If you have been longing to cut something for the collection don't miss these! |
