Item Description

A large and neon-orange gem cut from a large and thick (relatively) wulfenite crystal from the famous Red Cloud Mine in Arizona, expertly cut by famed faceter Art Grant. Originally in the collection of Tim Condron, then to Jim Houran. Absolutely top-quality gem from this classic locality and practically irreplaceable. At under 1 carat, these go for $1500+ per carat. At 2.70 carats of this quality, this should be valued somewhere in the $2000-2500 per carat range. It is, for what it is, a superb stone and has awesome color impact.
