Alchuri Shigar Epidote Here is a more rare kind of gemstone: a pakistani Epidot from Alchuri, Shigar Valley. I had the luck to obtain some very fine pieces of this hard to find mineral in best clarity. Even this is a dark material it has high RI and also high dispersion, a joy for the faceter. Maybe this one isn´t so good to be set but more for the collector of rare gems in custom cut quality. 2.35 cts., 8.6 x 5.5 mm, (available). |

Pakistani Peridot Wow, what a colour! This pakistani Peridot has an unbelievable neon yellowish green colour. An outstanding rough stone I couldn´t resist. There is foreign material in this gem like supertiny Chromitgrains and near colourless needles from Ludwigite (?), a delicacy for gemologists! Needless to say this is an custon cut gem with meetpoint accuracy and best possible polishing. 3.60cts., 9.6 x 6.4 mm, (sold). |
