Pietersite cab ~
Offered here is a splendid cabochon of top notch African pietersite. The distinguished example pictured here is truly a remarkable beauty, if ever I've seen one, featuring bright golden yellow and deep midnight blue chatoyance in a silky, swirling, folded pattern that dances with the light. A sharp eye will discern how the chatoyance changes with each view of this stone; please be sure to click the pics to enlarge them to full size to view the extaordinary details. I feel fortunate in the extreme that I still have a source for exceptional old stock pietersite like this, because as I understand it, there just isn't anymore high calibre material being actively mined and exported from Africa, nor has there been for years, if any is even left to harvest. This stone has a nicely rounded dome of 6mm, a gracefully fluid designer 'flame' shape, and a fine glassy polish both front and back. And considering how the cost of fine pietersite has sky-rocketed in recent years, my per carat price for a stone of this generous size and quality is a genuine bargain!
