Exceedingly rare as a mineral species, faceted gems are even more so. The material is almost always opaque and massive in nature and we have not seen more than a few faceted examples over the years. This one was done by one of our best rare gem cutters and surely has to be one of the few precision cut Chkalovites in existence. Quite included, but with some interesting crystalline forms, it remains bright and of a very decent size for the species. One of the few!
