Kyanite

Item Description

This gem is rarely seen in faceted stones from anywhere in the world let alone in such a rich color. Kyanite is an exceptionally rare stone mostly occurring in Brazil as included pale blue to colorless gems. This stone is from Nepal of all places and is a great Sapphire Blue color, and one of the best for Kyanite that I have seen. This "Oval Cabochon" cut gem has a unique deep blue color with a slightly lighter blue color band running the length of the stone. There are some very very slight inclusions, but it is good gem quality and the color is excellent. These stones are becoming very difficult to find in today's market, and stones over 2 carats (let alone a stone close to 4 carats!) are even harder to obtain. High end retail value on this gem is $238.80.
