We seem to finally be at the end of this spectacular material - stones are largely gone from the market and rough has completely disappeared.  Every bit as lovely as the cuprian material from Mozambique, these wonderfully saturated Afghan stones are not copper bearing, though it hardly matters when one sees the superb color.  Additionally, this fine, intensely colored pair (light but bright!) is completely eye clean and features a wonderful precision cutting job - they are a great match and not commercially cut by any stretch.  Gorgeous and now quite scarce.
