DESCRIPTION:

Ultra Rare SPECTACULAR Lot of Pastel Lilac to Root Beer colored Zoisite Faceting Rough from Skardu, Pakistan. This is extremely difficult material to get a hold of. The lot overall is running roughly 90%+ High Facet Grade. Some stones do have some minor inclusions; however, with proper orientation and a little hard work we are confident you will be able to mask up or facet out most inclusions to produce some unbelievable finished Gems! I think the price on this makes the lot a MUST have as we don't anticipate on getting much more of this material in the near future!

PLEASE NOTE - if  you take out roughly 1/4 of the smallest stones in this lot your stone average shoots up to over 5 carats for the remaining 75% of the parcel!!! Don't miss your chance at this lot as we are confident you won't see anyone else selling this material for a long time to come! We have NEVER seen this material in the local market as of thus far and it was really a stroke of luck that we came across this lot at all.

Please note that we haven't tested this material and can't say for 100% certainty that it is Zoisite but we are 99.9% sure it is. Everyone in the local market in Pakistan has identified this as Zoisite and we have purchased similar material in the past of a different color. There really isn't too much of this material coming out and it is a very hot collectors item. Overall this lot is a steal at the price and we are confident it will please the most discriminating collector for price. We don't know if we will get a hold of more of this in the future so don't miss out!!

COOL FACTS:
  1. This is a relatively new find of Zoisite coming from Pakistan. Facet Grade Zoisite is only known to come for one or two other countries on any significant scale. We haven't seen Pakistani Zoisite in the marketplace with rare exception and never let it slip by us when we can purchase it. We unfortunately don't have any exposure to the effects of heat treatment on the stone so can't advise one way or the other.
