Color: Medium Dark Violetish-Blue / Purple
Clarity: Eye Clean
Origin: Sri Lanka
Cut: Cushion
Treatments: None
Measurements: 15 mm
This rather scarce variety of Scapolite is almost colorless - there is a faint borownish-yellow bodycolor. What is interesting, aside from the impressive overall size, is that they have a moderate to strong UV reaction; a bright orange under longwave. We see just one or two of these a year and, for a large and clean example of a scarce gem, they remain approachable.
