58.40ct Clear Quartz with Two Actinolite Stars - Rare

About the Item

Clear Quartz with what a large number in the trade say to be a Star Actinolite. This was occasionally seen on the market about 10+ years ago and quickly disappeared as this wasn't a large deposit. Found a small parcel and we choose the two nicest for clear clarity of the quartz (frequently it can be cloudy), nice stars/sprays of the Actinolite and that were nicely situated for viewing within the quartz. The smaller piece has sold, but this larger aesthetically pleasing piece is available - and we do not anticipate finding any more of this material and therefore, this will be the last piece in the All That Glitters Collection. A beauty! With included Quartz or other gemstones, each piece is an individual, a One-of-a-Kind Gemstone! Others may have something similar, but no one will have exactly what you have. What makes this is Rare Gemstone is not the fact that it contains Actinolite, but that the Actinolite is in a Star Pattern/Formation. This material has only been found sporadically at times and immediately goes into collections and museums. We have grabbed some info from the internet and you can view it in the additional photos - one is an article found in GIA (the Gemological Institute of America) and some of the material in the photo is to be found in the the Smithsonian Institute! Enjoy this rare unique piece as a pendant or perhaps a ring; many of our customers simply collect our gemstones. Measures approx 40mm x 20mm. Priced at $35/ct.

  • Natural 1.80ct Alexandrite with 1.23cts Diamonds Set in Platinum Ring!
    Located in Methuen, MA
    A large 1.80ct Natural Alexandrite Oval set with 1.23cts of Diamonds in a Platinum Ring - Estate Piece and believed to be only a few years old. Weight of the Alexandrite, the diamonds and metal type are all stamped on the inside of the band. Ideally, we would like to see this recut slightly to improve the brilliance and close it up to perhaps deepen the color, but there is not sufficient material in the pavilion to keep the outer dimensions and therefore we have decided to leave it as is, and there isn't much of a reason to change things!. Natural Alexandrite has gone up dramatically in the past few years. What is on the market typically hasn't been thrilling to us due to size, being overly dark, poor cutting, clarity issues and especially pricing. Regardless of how poor we feel Natural Alexandrite faceted gems might be out there, they continue to sell and at high prices. There is a very decent color change in this center gem, but as always, one needs the right wavelengths in order to a change and not all are dramatic changes. This does go form a variation of green to a sort of purple. We have a price on this entire ring where on the current market you couldn't purchase just the Alexandrite. It is also a plus that it is set in a Platinum ring and has essentially one and a quarter carats worth of diamonds! Just to set this piece with all the gemstones is a costly undertaking. Alexandrite, Ruby and a few other gemstones can be quite a challenge to obtain accurate color regardless of the device being used. Unfortunately, though we sometimes believe we have obtained a good shot with accurate color, when the photo is transferred to another device or even uploaded to a website, the color can be quite different from what the eye sees or the original photo. With websites, some of this is based on the codecs that different websites use, and with devices, it is frequently related to what people has selected for color display, etc. Due to the wide range of wholesale prices and qualities of Natural Alexandrite seen in the trade currently, it is difficult to determine the estimated retail price for this piece; however, at this price, the Platinum Ring and Diamonds might be a freebie as the center Alexandrite might be selling elsewhere at the price for this whole ring!)
