| DESCRIPTION: |
Ultra Rare lot of Honey Yellow Sphene Facet Rough with some nice Lime Green Axis from Khyber Agency, Pakistan. This material is extremely difficult to get a hold of in the rough and there is a very limited amount of it available. We hunted for 7 days and roamed the entire market to trace down the only 2 lots of this that were available. You can view the other lot on our latest E-Newsletter. This material overall is running roughly 45% high facet grade. This is an investment not to be missed. Please note that there is one stone in here that is white that we purchased with the lot and we can't identify it. Facet Grade Sphene from this area is a rarity and the only reason we hunted down this lot was because of several requests for it. We don't know how much more will be made available in the future in the market as production is very sporadic and this stone is mined in conjunction with other gems coming from the mining area. Sphene is not the sought after stone and therefore it is not readily mined. If you take a look around you will see some of the per carat prices Faceted Sphene is selling for and I'm sure you will find this lot a must have! |
