Awesome lot of RAREEEEEEEEEE NATURAL Mandarin to Tangerine Orange Clinohumite Cabbing Rough from Tajikistan! This material is being sold as Cabbing grade and should be purchased as such. Overall, the material tends to be moderately to heavily included and has little if any Faceting potential. This material is VERY sporadically produced and we were EXTREMELY lucky to be able to acquire any! Facet & Cab grade Clinohumite has traditionally only been produced in Tajikistan; however, there are reports of a fairly new deposit in Tanzania. The material from Tanzania tends to be more at the Red end whereas the material from Tajikistan is more at the Orange end.

In the past, sellers of this material told us that it was Spinel from Tajikistan as there really is a total lack of information on such oddities in the marketplace in Pakistan. From what we have been informed, the locals in Tajikistan call this Orange Spinel. This material is RARELY eye-clean and slightly included material looks to be the norm at best when going over 1 carat in size. Cut stones that go over 1 carat are practically unheard of. We have seen slightly included stones above 1 carat go from a few hundred Per Carat to well over $1,000 depending on size!
