An amazing rarity from a tiny, artisanal find. Not widely known from Canada, such stones have one of the most intense and gorgeous blues of all gems. Much more typical from Vietnam or even Sri Lanka, this one is a rare locale to be certain. We bought nearly all the tiny production of these and this is the largest single (cabbed or faceted) that we are aware of. For the advanced collector.
