Description:Willemite is only known from a few world localities in gem quality material, and some of the finest and most attractive stones that I have seen are those from the storied Tsumeb mine. Willemite from Franklin is known is good-sized stones, but the color NEVER looks like this gem ! The gorgeous ocean-blue color of this "Round" cut gem is unique to Tsumeb to my knowledge, and for rare stone collectors, blue Willemite is certainly a must-have when it comes to completing your collection. This stone is very slightly included, but the color and rarity of the stone is what makes it so important. I have seen cut stones of this exact material retailing for $1500 per carat on the market, so don't miss out on this great opportunity to snag a COLORFUL rare gem from one of the most prolific localities in the world for a great price. Enjoy !
