A massive and quite fascinating example of classic Burmese Hackmanite. The tenebrescent effect is quite pronounced here; the entirely white gem is turned deep purple with exposure to shortwave UV light for just a few seconds. The stone will then fade back to white and the effect is repeatable. A fun material and one that we don’t see cut in this way much any more.
