Well here is something with didn’t expect - a fascinating combination of two rare gem species. Burmeses Hackmanite is well known, mostly in cab grade, for its dramatic tenebresence (UV induced color change) and Johachidolite is much less well known as it ranks in the very rare gem category. Never before have we seen the two species growing together - and what a cool look! The color changing properties of the Hackmanite are intact (the stone will fade back to very light purple in a few minutes) and contrast wonderfully with the bright orange of the Johachidolite. Amazing combination of two rarities in a single stone.
