DESCRIPTION: |
WOW! This is extremely rare to find in this clarity and the stone is practically clean FOR the species! There are some inclusions confined primarily to the periphery; however, about 60% of the core of the stone looks very clean. The good news is that a very slightly included stone appears possible from the rough IF YOU CAN FACET THIS MATERIAL. You may even be able to cut an eye-clean stone but it would probably result in excessive weight loss. This truly is one of the ULTIMATE challenges for a faceter. Awesome shape and clarity for this rare species!! FACETING PROPERTIES OF THIS MINERAL ARE NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART! PLEASE RESEARCH CUTTING PROPERTIES AND CLEAVAGE INFO BEFORE ORDERING! |
