DESCRIPTION:

Ultra Rare lot of Honey Yellow Sphene Facet Rough with some stones having a 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 in Pakistan. It is extremely unusual to encounter this material in the local market and I don't know if we will be able to continue to do so as this stuff is RARELY produced in this LARGE a size. The average weight on these stones is running over 45 CARATS!!!! This is a giveaway at this price! This Lot is roughly 70%+ Top Facet Grade. There are several pieces in here that should cut eye-clean to very slightly included stones in the 5-12+ carat range with a little hard work and we are confident this is an investment not to be missed.

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!
