DESCRIPTION: |
Awesome ULTRA RARE Afghan Hackmanite Facet Rough! We were EXTREMELY lucky to come across this rough and were thrilled at the clarity. The color ranges from a Pale Purple to an almost Plum and some of these stones should cut in the 1-2+ carat range with a little hard work at the eye-clean level. If you do a little research in the market place you will see that Hackmanite Gems command some pretty wild numbers and this lot is a give away at this price. Hackmanite is known to change color by exposure to different forms of light and its color change is known to be tenebresent. The color of the material at times can be enhanced by storage in a dark place; however, may fade upon exposure to light. This change is repeatable and not permanent. In addition, Hackmanite also produces some wild colors under UV light and is highly sought after by collectors. We don't know if we will ever get any more of this material so for all you collectors this is a win win situation! |
