An undoubted American gem treasure. Considering the rarity and value of specimens of this Smithsonite variety, we are quite happy to offer what is surely among the finest faceted examples in existence. Typically this Copper induced color forms as small botryoidal masses and so there is almost never enough size, consistency of color and relative clarity to even think of cutting a stone - let alone a 7 carat example. Magnificent color, almost startling in person, this is the one such gem we have ever seen. Precision cutting and a famous locality to boot. An absolute museum grade stone.
