Grandidierite as a species has been known for years but was never of true gem quality - just in the last several years has some material been found and it is exquisite indeed. The window has already closed for the best of the find - those truly gem pieces capable of cutting clean stones in the distinctive color of Grandidierite. Excellent cutting, simply staggering in its rarity and supremely attractive. There is well concealed veil lost the brilliance and fine color of this one.
