Scapolite (unusually colorless)

Item Description

A cool Scapolite gem from Afghanistan. It is a beautiful, essentially colorless stone with an elongated "Cushion" cut. A rare stone collector can certainly appreciate the rarity of a piece like this. Very slight inclusions, but how often does one see colorless Scapolite on the market? Typically Scapolite is yellow or purple, and the small amount of colorless material that came out of Afghanistan circa 2004 is stome of the most interesting examples of GEM quality material that I've seen.
