Description:This material is simply a variety of Vesuvianite, that is sometimes called "California Jade". The name for this stone is actually pretty old, and dates back to the days of noted gemologist George Kunz who first described the material. At the time, he thought it was a new form of jade, but Vesuvianite is often confused for other minerals. This "Wide Trillion" cut stone is actually a very good quality gem for this material as it has great transparency, and bright color. The stone is a bit cloudy, but has a nice yellow-green color that shows up very well.
