DESCRIPTION:

Awesome vibrant Silver to White Afghan Goshenite Facet Rough. Most of this material is a nice Silver in color; however, there are 2 stones that have a very slight Blue overtone. The bulk of this lot is extremely clean with 90%+ capable of cutting eye-clean or better stones. 98%+ of this material is glassy clean with only 1 stone looking as thought it will pose a challenge in cutting eye-clean or better. Don't let the etched exterior on these stones fool you as the bulk of this is top top facet grade rough and we are confident that you will get some killer stones out of this lot with a little effort.

COOL FACTS:
  1. Afghanistan seldom produces Goshenite on a regular basis. Much of this material is treated to produce Golden Beryl and various shades of Yellow. It is important to note that many people are selling this Yellow Beryl as natural. From our experience and dealings we have come to the conclusion that most of the material that is Yellow Beryl and claimed to be of Afghani or Pakistani origin is actually treated Pakistani & Afghani Goshenite and Aquamarine . In 7+ years of traveling to the region and purchasing from the local markets we have NEVER once come across any Natural Golden Beryl from the region.
