Chkalovite (very rare)

Item Description

Chkalovite is a rare Sodium Beryllium Silicate that is rarely found it gem quality specimens. This is the first Chkalovite that I have had to offer in the auctions. It is admittedly a smaller stone, but for rare gem collectors, this is a great opportunity to add this piece to your collection. I'm told that this stone is close to 20 years old, and good material is rarely available for facetting. This "Marquise" cut gem does have some slight inclusions, but I think one can forgive the fact that the gem is not 100% clean based upon the incredible scarceness of the material. Enjoy.
