An essentially unobtainable Canadian rarity - true gem blue Brucite from Asbestos. This remarkable stone, one of the very few ever cut from this locale, was part of the storied (and now long dispersed) Parsons’ collection. Entirely transparent and gem grade, the stone has a great polish (it’s Moh’s hardness is only 2 1/2) and was cut decades ago, likely by Parsons himself. The color is bright and is classic for the species. A very special once-in-a-lifetime Canadian gem that cannot be replaced.
