A relatively newly discovered rarity, Laurentthomasite is related to another rare gem species - Milarite. In contrast to those colorless stones however, Laurentthomasite is capable of a stunning vibrant blue-green color - something few rarities can boast. There is also a substantial pleochroism in the rough, and although we have seen a few gems prior to this one, none have been orientated more successfully to feature the very best color face-up as this gem. Moreover, the rough is often extremely fractured, so stones with this level of clarity are few and far between indeed. Superb custom US cutting and doubly rare with the perfect orientation of color.
