A rare quality for this unusual material. The level of transparency is remarkable here - Moroccan gems, and gems from any locality essentially, are simply not this gemmy. It is a massive material and so single crystal Cobaltocalcite is not found - some degree of haziness will be present. This is as good as we have seen them, with very fine US precision cutting added for good measure. This quality in a weight above 1 carat is a true rarity.
