The quintessentially rare species, Poudretteite was named for the family who operated an operation at the Mont Saint-Hilaire deposit, where it was first discovered. Since then there has been nothing more than a trickle of stones out of Burma to tempt the rare stone market. This lovely stone is an outstanding example of Poudretteite, cut to the correct angles (always scarce on such a rarity) and completely eye clean. Moreover, the color is especially fine for a stone of this approachable size; a fine medium light pink, the classic color. One of the trophies of gem collecting and extremely nice.
