Precision cut 2.43ct Tanzanian Scapolite -Untreated!

This is a fantastic collectors gemstone. High quality rough yellow scapolite starts at around $32 a carat, and it takes an 8 to 10 carat section of top grade scapolite to create a 2.50 carat finished gemstone. So just the rough stone by itself would cost around $250 to $320 after it was trimmed and the flaws were cut away, and that's before it was even faceted! And since the Mohs hardness rating of scapolite is 6-6.5 out of 10, it takes a skilled hand to shape and polish it to avoid chipping and cracking. Now look at the cut of this piece. The crisp lines, the tight angles, and the symmetry shows that a deft hand at work on this gemstone, and its precision cut results in outstanding light return and heavy full bodied flashing through SI clarity. The polish of this piece was masterfully done, creating a near flawless surface that sparkles against every facet. What you have here is not just a gemstone, it is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece of selection and workmanship. This fine scapolite example measures 8.8mm x 7.5mm x 6mm, and is all natural with no treatments. Sourced from Tanzania.
