Description
GEM: 1.7 x 1.4 x 0.9 cm (9.19 carats) A superb miniature, with two very 3-dimensional crystals intergrown, and complete. When backlit strongly this cluster GLOWS with the same deep cherry red color that you see in this unusually large and clean cut gemstone. I paid $3000 for this large stone of SUPER quality, to make a wonderful set. I think the specimen is a value, as well. Together, they complement nicely in size.
Known provenanceKnowing where your specimen comes from and who owned it adds to its story and value. Good provenance helps prove it's authentic and preserves important details about its discovery.
