While the Mexican deposit of facet grade colorless Danburite did produce a fair quantity of stones for this scarcer species, the cleanest and best gems were almost never of this outstanding size. Perhaps a 10 ct. here and there, but to see one of this weight is truly remarkable. And what is more, they really are a lovely material; the stones are for all intents and purposes colorless, but in fact show a very slight pink color on a white background. This seems to aid in the crispness of the stones as they are just so bright. Great cutting and a superb Charcas gem to be sure.
