WOWWW! AN ENHYDRO IN A WATER SOLUBLE ULTRA RARE GEMMY MINERAL! This species is rare to find in this clarity and the stone is EXTREMELY clean and LARGE FOR the species! We could have cobbed this into multiple cleaner sections; however, we opted to sell it as one single stone for the ENHYDRO and it should be purchased as such. The enhydro actually moves roughly 2-3 MM as indicated by the mark-ups on the above pictures. The stone unfortunately does have some inclusions and if cut as a single stone they WILL show up in any finished gem; however, dividing the rough into multiple stones will produce cleaner gemstones though may drain the enhydro out. I don't even know if you would want to facet this considering the enhydro; however, IF YOU CAN FACET THIS MATERIAL AND get the enhydro NOT to drain you truly would have an amazing stone! This 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! |
