Description:There are only a few localities in the world that produce gem quality Scorzalite. Scorzalite is the iron analogue of Lazulite, and faceted gems are few and far between. These days, Brazil produces virtually no Scorzalite, so the value of the top crystals and stones is on the rise. This stone is very slightly included, with an attractive bright blue color. Most people are probably familiar with the dark inky-blue Scorzalites from other world localities, but these crystals are often too dark to produce stones that don't appear "black", so to find gems, even if they're small, with rich color like this is a real treat. The cut on this stone is a "Round" cut.
