If you've never heard of this gem before, you should research it before bidding. This is a special gemstone for a special rare gem collector. And please do not try to set it if you are new to the art, as it has perfect 1 direction cleavage. Where most faceted examples are clear, this rare hambergite exhibits a uniqe silver hue with full cover chatoyancy that makes it shine white when tilted. The silver hue exhibits metallic qualities, while the white hue exhibits pearlescent qualities. It measures 8mm x 7.8mm x 4.4mm and has a Mohs hardness rating of 7 out of 10, and out of the tens of thousands of beautiful and rare gemstones that have been offered here, this is the only example of this gem type. Sourced from Badakshan, Afganistan. Untreated.
