A rare gem in a very 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! This gem is a fine larger example of the type we rarely see any more - there is a small veil of altered crystalline inclusions visible with oblique light. It’s a rather interesting addition to a stone that is for collectors to begin with. Nice polish and rare.
