Notes - One of the rarest stones on earth. Heavily opaque stones of little color are almost worthless. The more transparent or higher colored stones can get very, very pricey. BUY THESE WHILE YOU CAN! Color and, clarity really raises price. People are asking thousands a carat for these and fakes or poor quality, dyed stones can go for $9.99
The few specimens that we have are not perfect clarity (nor are they being sold for a fortune per carat) but they have very good translucency and good to excellent color, making them very expensive, normally. A good price would be 1000.00 a carat.
Bought in auction lot and we are passing the savings on to you.
