Chondrodite (very rare)

Item Description

Going back to the late 2000s, there was a substantial discovery in Afghanistan of what are some of the finest red, gem quality Chondrodites found in recent memory. The crystals were not terribly large, but they were fine quality, and showed a deep red to orange-red hue internally. This stone is a fine gem quality example, but make no mistake, it does have some visible inclusions. When viewed in the sunlight, the color is a very rich red with slight orange overtones. The stone has a "Round Brilliant" cut, and is simply a great example of this extremely rare and highly sought after material. You can't find these anymore, as the locality has been mined out, so if you're a fan of rare stones, and you're missing a good red Chondrodite from your collection
