A rare gem in an impressive size. Ekanite is a rare stone classic - there is usually just a trickle of material in the market that comes primarily from Sri Lanka. It has the dubious distinction of being one of the few gems that are actually minimally radioactive. It is a very low level, generally stopped by a stone box or even a plastic bag, but still a nice conversation starter! Now rather difficult to find in larger sizes, this fine example has the classic color and just a touch of the usual haziness that is due to the strain on the crystal structure. There are some interesting included crystals as well. One of the largest of this species we have had in recently.
