We often get requests for these, though we are rarely able to offer them. Here we thought we would do something different and cut and extremely large example regardless of the typical inclusions - as the color effect is really the fascinating part of these, it is even more dynamic in a larger size. The idea is have the violet hue fully present through one of the cube's faces, while the gray is immediately adjacent. They are fun and interesting gemological tools for understanding pleochroism. Quite nice and an impressive size.
