The very first time we have been able to offer a pair in this material. One of the most outstanding newer gem varieties that we have seen in recent years, not only are these inclusion stones of the highest order - the geometric patterns form by the hematite are both dramatic and beautifully contrasted - but they have an additional phenomenon. They are orthoclase feldspar - that is to say, 'Moonstone' with its full adularescent qualities intact. So you have this great looking piece that can surprise when rotated - the billowy effect of Moonstone flashing across the surface. So great, we wish these were more readily available, but they are very hard to source and the inherent quality of the material makes a pair quite difficult. There are a few slight differences in the two here, but they look great and should work just fine as set.
