Item Description

This rare Feldspar species is not often seen in gems from any locality. It is only found in a few places in the world, and fairly clean stones (especially this size) are not common. This gem has VSI clarity, but for the size is one of the better Oligoclase stones that I've had to offer in a while. It also has a VERY PALE green overtone, which is also uncommon in my experience with feldspar gems. It has a beautiful "Pear Brilliant" cut. This is confirmed Oligoclase, and not Anorthite or Orthoclase. This is the real deal, so don't miss out. WELL worth the $25 starting bid.
